Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 431

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Barbiturates are central nervous system depressants. Barbiturates and alcohol are a lethal combination. The patient who has ingested both items is at risk for varying degrees of sedation, up to coma and death. Seizure activity, signs of withdrawal, and hallucinations are not the greatest risks for this patient.
