What should a nurse's response be to a client on a crisis hotline who says they took an entire bottle of amitriptyline?

'Can you wait for an hour and call back if you feel worse?'
'Have you tried calling a friend or family member?'
'I'm glad you called, and I want to send an ambulance to help you.'
'Try to induce vomiting immediately to prevent absorption.'

The correct answer is: 'I'm glad you called, and I want to send an ambulance to help you.'

The nurse's response should be to prioritize the client's safety and well-being, which is why option C is the correct response. Option A is not appropriate as the client may not be able to wait an hour and their condition may worsen. Option B may not be helpful as the client may not have anyone to call or may not feel comfortable reaching out to a friend or family member. Option D is not recommended as inducing vomiting may not be safe or effective, and it is always best to seek medical help in situations involving potential overdose.
