The initial and most important step in the management of an inhalation poisoning is:
  1. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation
  2. Positive-pressure ventilation
  3. Oxygen administration
  4. Removal of the patient from the toxic environment
Explanation
Answer: D - The initial step in management of an inhalation poisoning is to remove the patient from the toxic environment. If the patient continues to be exposed to the toxic substance that is causing the reaction they will surely become worse. Always be sure to have the appropriate fire or EMS crew deal with these types of patients, as any toxic substance that is agitating the patient will surely agitate the EMS crew.
