A young female is unresponsive after overdosing on an unknown type of drug. Her respirations

are slow and shallow and her pulse is slow and weak. Which of the following drugs is the LEAST

likely cause of her condition?


A: Seconal


B: Heroin


C: Cocaine

Reason: Activated charcoal adsorbs (sticks to) many ingested substances, preventing them from

being absorbed into the body by the stomach or intestines. In some cases, you may give

activated charcoal to patients who have ingested certain substances, if approved by medical co

ntrol or local protocol. Activated charcoal is contraindicated for patients who have ingested an a

The MOST obvious way to reduce heat loss from radiation and convection is to: A
rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf




: move away from a cold object.
rf rf rf rf rf rf




B: increase metabolism by shivering. C
rf rf rf rf rf




: wear a thick wind-proof jacket.
rf rf rf rf rf




D: move to a warmer environment. you selected D; This is correct!
rf rf rf rf rf rfrf rf rf rf rf rf




Reason: In a cold environment, the body has two ways of staying warm: generating heat
rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf




(thermogenesis) and reducing heat loss. Radiation is the transfer of heat by radiant energy. The bo
rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf




dy can lose heat by radiation, such as when a person stands in a cold room. Convection
rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf




occurs when heat is transferred to circulating air, as when cool air moves across the body's surfa
rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf




ce. A person standing in windy cold weather, wearing lightweight clothing, is losing heat to the en
rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf




vironment mostly by convection. The quickest and most obvious way to decrease heat loss from
