Questions and Answers

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?

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?

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
