Question

sarahs friend had been binge drinking and was intoxicated. sarah immediately called 9-1-1, and then sarah tried to keep her friend awake and helped her sit up. sitting up would most likely help with which symptom?
○ confusion
○ blue skin
○ bloating
○ vomiting

Explanation:

When a person is intoxicated from binge drinking and may vomit, sitting up helps prevent aspiration (inhaling vomit into the lungs) and also aids in the process of vomiting by using gravity to facilitate the expulsion of stomach contents. Confusion is a cognitive symptom not directly addressed by sitting up. Blue skin is related to poor circulation or oxygenation, which sitting up doesn't directly help. Bloating is a gastrointestinal discomfort not alleviated by sitting up in the context of intoxication - related symptoms.

Answer:

D. vomiting
