What is the primary goal of administering antidotes to treat poisoning?
What is the primary goal of administering antidotes to treat poisoning?
- Remove or alleviate toxicity using the least harmful drug possible (correct)
- Delay the treatment process to assess patient response
- Offer a complex and risky method compared to other treatments
- Alleviate toxicity using the most harmful drug possible
How might advances in molecular biology and DNA technologies contribute to future emergency poisoning treatments?
How might advances in molecular biology and DNA technologies contribute to future emergency poisoning treatments?
- By decreasing the economic feasibility of antidote development
- By increasing the potential for home therapy implementation (correct)
- By reducing the availability of antidotes
- By making antidotes more harmful and less specific
What role can computerized databases play in simplifying poison information retrieval?
What role can computerized databases play in simplifying poison information retrieval?
- Simplify poison information retrieval and recommend therapy based on patient-specific data (correct)
- Recommend therapy based on general data rather than patient-specific data
- Create barriers in accessing patient-specific data
- Increase reliance on consulting poison centers or medical toxicologists
