Question 1 of 27070

According to 46 CFR's, besides analyzing a mariner's breath for alcohol, what other specimen would be acceptable for alcohol level testing following a "Serious Marine Incident"?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Part 4 – Marine Casualties and Investigations • 46 CFR 4.06 – Mandatory chemical testing following a Serious Marine Incident (SMI) • The specific wording about acceptable body specimens for alcohol testing

💭 Think About

• Look up which exact body specimens 46 CFR 4.06 says are allowed for alcohol testing after a Serious Marine Incident. • Ask yourself: which of the choices is actually mentioned in the regulation text, not just commonly used in other fields like roadside testing or workplace testing? • Think about which type of specimen best reflects current blood alcohol concentration, not long-term or surface contamination.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR 4.06 that the regulation lists only two acceptable specimens for alcohol testing after an SMI. • Confirm which body fluid or specimen (other than breath) is explicitly named in the phrase "…or ____" when the rule describes alcohol tests. • Eliminate any options that are not mentioned anywhere in 46 CFR 4.06 as an acceptable alcohol test specimen.
