Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best initial step in the care of a patient who inhaled a poison is to get them into fresh air and remove any tight-fitting clothing. This helps to decrease their exposure to the poison and prevent further inhalation. Wrapping the patient in a blanket can also help prevent shock. Drinking water or milk (A) may be harmful in some cases as it can increase absorption of certain poisons. Removing affected clothing and washing the area (C) may be appropriate for certain types of poisoning, but not for inhalation. A colloidal oatmeal bath and corticosteroid ointment (D) would not be helpful in treating inhalation of poison. Administering medications for pain and nausea (E) may be helpful, but is not the best initial step in treatment.
