Emergency Care: Falls and Poisoning

Question 2 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

Which treatment would most likely be given to a victim of alcohol poisoning?

Answer
A
providing milk or water
B
administering intravenous fluids and oxygen
C
sitting the victim in a cold shower
D
having the victim ingest activated charcoal

Explanation

Alcohol poisoning can dangerously slow breathing and cause severe dehydration or unconsciousness, so the person needs emergency medical care. Medical staff may give oxygen to support breathing and intravenous fluids to treat dehydration. Milk or water, a cold shower, and activated charcoal do not reverse alcohol poisoning and can delay lifesaving care.
