Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Hyperosmolar laxative fosters the passage through the intestine of poisons such as iron, lithium, and lead. A hyperosmolar laxative such as polyethylene glycol, containing a balance of electro-lytes, may be used for whole-bowel irrigations. These drugs act quickly and have little toxicity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Activated charcoal is the favored method for poison removal from the gastrointestinal tract since it detoxifies ingested toxic substances and irritants.
