Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Antidotes available to treat toxin ingestion include N-acetylcysteine for acetaminophen poisoning, naloxone for opioid overdose, flumazenil (Romazicon) for benzodiazepines (diazepam Valium, midazolam Versed) overdose, and digoxin immune Fab (Digibind) for digoxin toxicity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
Methods to reduce lead levels in homes include: planting bushes around the outside of the house, if soil is contaminated with lead, so children cannot play there; ensuring that children eat regular meals because more lead is absorbed on an empty stomach; and ensuring that children's diets contain sufficient iron and calcium. Cold water should only be used for drinking, cooking, and reconstituting powder infant formula. Hot water dissolves lead more quickly than cold water and thus contains higher levels of lead. Do not use pottery or ceramic ware that was inadequately fired or is meant for decorative use for food storage or service.
