AWR 160- module 3 UPDATED ACTUAL
Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
Visual clues include - CORRECT ANSWER - fire or vapor clouds, visible corrosive
actions/chemical reactions, pooled liquids, condensation on pressure tanks, and injured casualties
displaying signs and symptoms.
Smell - CORRECT ANSWER - Some chemical agents are accompanied by a
characteristic odor that may provide a warning. After a while, however, people may become used
to the chemical and no longer detect the smell. A chemical may still be present even if there is no
detectable odor. It is important to note that a particular odor may be completely inconsistent with
its surroundings. If a particular odor is detected, the area should be evacuated immediately to
avoid a potentially dangerous situation. Do not enter a potentially contaminated environment to
smell for an indicator.
Do not touch or taste - CORRECT ANSWER - any substance
Inhalation - CORRECT ANSWER - Inhalation occurs when gases or aerosols are breathed
in.
Ingestion - CORRECT ANSWER - Ingestion occurs when residue has settled on food or
drink, and then the products are eaten.
Absorption - CORRECT ANSWER - Absorption is when an agent comes into contact with
the skin or mucous membranes (i.e., nose, mouth, eyes, open sores, wounds, and/or punctures)
and is absorbed into the body.
Injection - CORRECT ANSWER - Injection includes any process by which a toxic
substance is introduced directly into the blood via needles, sharp metal, or any other mechanical
means. Contaminants entering the bloodstream through an open wound can be considered to be
injected.
