Emergency Care: Falls and Poisoning

Question 5 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

Which of the following scenarios describe an ingested poison? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
A student is bitten by a spider.
B
A person becomes intoxicated from alcohol.
C
A person swallows too many prescription pills.
D
A child drinks from a bottle containing drain cleaner.

Explanation

An ingested poison is a harmful substance that enters the body by being swallowed. Alcohol can cause poisoning when a person drinks enough to become intoxicated, and swallowing too many prescription pills or drain cleaner also brings harmful substances into the body by mouth. A spider bite injects venom rather than being an ingested poison.
