[All NREMT Questions]

There are few antidotes for the number of poisons available, so what is the treatment goal for a poisoning if there is no antidote?

  • A. Removal of poison
  • B. Limiting the absorption
  • C. Treatment of symptoms
  • D. Eliminating the target organ

Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
If a particular poison does not have an antidote the next best treatment is to limit the amount of the poison to be absorbed. Activated charcoal is often use to absorb ingested poisons. Brushing off powered poisons or flushing with high volumes of water will block slow or prevent absorption. once the absorption has been assured or contraindicated then you are left to treating symptoms.
