b

Answer to Question 2

A
Activated charcoal is contraindicated in heavy metal poisoning, because it is poorly absorbed.
Gastric lavage is indicated for an overdose of pills within 60 minutes. This patient fits that crite-rion.
Whole bowel irrigation is indicated for lead ingestion. This patient fits the that criterion.
Surface decontamination is appropriate for topical exposure to toxicants. This patient fits that criterion.
