🔍 Key Concepts

• First aid for ingested poisons (non-petroleum based) • Difference between inducing vomiting and digesting/absorbing a substance • What warm soapy or salt water actually does in the stomach, not in the blood

💭 Think About

• Think about what immediate first-aid goal is when someone swallows a non-petroleum poison: do we want the body to absorb it, digest it, neutralize it, or get it back out? • Ask yourself where warm soapy/salty water actually acts: in the stomach or in the bloodstream? What effect would that have? • Which options describe processes that happen mainly in the digestive system versus in the circulatory system?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any choices that suggest the poison should be absorbed or digested more by the body. • Check which options involve changes to the blood, and ask if a drink in the stomach can directly do that. • Focus on which option matches the idea of getting the poison out of the stomach quickly rather than processing it inside the body.
