Following a large wedding, health authorities announce that some of the food was contaminated with salmonella. Consequently, your EMS service receives notice that there may be a significant number of calls involving food poisoning. A new AEMT asks you how to treat those with food poisoning. You would reply:
 
  A) You should treat the patient based on his signs and symptoms, just like any other ingested poison.
  B) After assessing the patient, the administration of activated charcoal can be effective if there are no obvious contraindications.
  C) The primary role of EMS in this situation is merely to transport to the hospital.
  D) If the patient has a fever, we can administer a medication to make him vomit to get the food out of his system.

Question 2

An AEMT is faced with treating an unresponsive patient whose respirations are not depressed and the likelihood of narcotic overdose is remote. The AEMT feels helpless and believes that doing anything is better than doing nothing at all, the AEMT then decided to administer naloxone to the patient. The AEMT has fallen prey to an error called:
 
  A) satisficing bias.
  B) fundamental attribution bias.
  C) anchoring bias.
  D) commission bias.
