How do you recognize a patient that is ill, because of poisoning ? Correct
Answer-poisons can do damage in a variety of ways. A poison may act as a
corrosive or irritant,
destroying skin and other body tissues. A poisonous gas can act as a suffocating
agent, displacing oxygen in the air.


Some poisons are systemic poisons, causing harm to the entire body or to an
entire body system. These poisons can critically depress or overstimulate the
central nervous system, cause vomiting and diarrhea, prevent
red blood cells from carrying oxygen, or interfere with the normal biochemical
processes in the body at the level of the cell.


The actual effect and extent of damage is dependent on the nature of the
poison, on its concentration, and sometimes on how it enters the body. These
factors vary in importance depending on the patient's age, weight, and general
health.


What are symptoms of ingested poisoning ? Correct Answer-ingested poisons
(poisons that are swallowed) can include many common household and
industrial chemicals, medications, improperly prepared or stored foods, plant
materials,


And


petroleum products, and agricultural products made specifically to control
rodents, weeds, insects, and crop diseases.

How do you recognize symptoms of inhaled poisoning ? Correct Answer-
poisons that are breathed in) take the form of gases, vapors, and sprays.


Again, many of these substances are in common use in the home, industry, and
agriculture. Such poisons include carbon monoxide (from car exhaust, wood-
burning stoves, and furnaces), ammonia, chlorine, insect sprays, and the gases
produced from volatile liquid chemicals


(volatile means "able to change very easily from a liquid into a gas"; many
industrial solvents are volatile).


How do you recognize symptoms of Absorbed poisoning ? Correct Answer-
poisons taken into the body through unbroken skin) may or may not damage the
skin.


Many are corrosives or irritants that will injure the skin and then be slowly
absorbed into body tisues and the bloodstream, possibly causing widespread
damage.


Others are absorbed into the bloodstream without injuring the skin.


Examples of these poisons include insecticides and agricultural chemicals.
Contact with a variety of plant materials and certain forms of marine life can
lead to skin damage and possible absorption into tissues under the skin.
