Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Drowning is a significant cause of accidental asphyxiation. Consequently, actions that prevent young children from falling into pools and water bodies may reduce this risk. Asphyxiation does not result directly from poor environmental air quality. CPR skills can be used to treat asphyxiation emergencies but not to prevent them from occurring. Poisoning does not normally result in asphyxiation.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D
Complications associated with calcium gluconate include hypercalcemia, seizures, and laryngeal spasms.
