Question

victims of carbon monoxide poisoning must be immediately removed from the site and given _____.

• plenty of water
• 100 percent oxygen
• nitrogen
• mouth - to - mouth resuscitation

Explanation:

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning occurs when CO binds to hemoglobin in the blood, reducing oxygen - carrying capacity. To treat CO poisoning, the victim needs to be provided with a high concentration of oxygen to displace the CO from hemoglobin and restore oxygen delivery to tissues.

• "Plenty of water" is not relevant as CO poisoning is not related to dehydration.
• "Nitrogen" is an inert gas and does not help in treating CO poisoning.
• "Mouth - to - mouth resuscitation" is used for cases of respiratory arrest, but the primary treatment for CO poisoning is providing high - concentration oxygen, not just resuscitation. So the correct option is 100 percent oxygen.

Answer:

B. 100 percent oxygen
