Clinical Toxicology Part I

Antidote for iodine poisoning:

• silver nitrate

• potassium nitrate

• starch

• sugar

The specific antidote for the treatment of poisoning due to oral ingestion of silver nitrate would be the oral administration of :

• acetic acid solution

• sodium bicarbonate

• normal saline

This is recommended in phenol poisoning as a cathartic but is contraindicated in poisoning by chlorinated insecticide, since it may increase intestinal absorption

• magnesium sulfate

• mannitol

• castor oil

• Fleet’s Phospho-soda

The most serious potential consequence of ingestion of liquid hydrocarbon such as kerosene or gasoline is:

• paralysis of the peristaltic motion of the GI tract

• the aspiration of the poison into the respiratory tract

• destruction of body enzymes by the poison

Death may result from poisoning due to the following causes, except:

• due to interference with the carriage of oxygen

• due to inhibition of the respiratory movements by neuro muscular agents

• due to interference with the enzyme system utilizing it

• circulatory failure as a result of cardiac glucosides

Streptomycin can cause:

• 4th cranial damage

• 8th cranial damage

• 7th cranial damage

• 6th cranial damage

A poison which increases suddenly in its intensity of action after slow or gradual addition of it is

• corrosive poison

• true poison

• cumulative poison

• irritant poison

Antidote for iodine poisoning:

• silver nitrate

• potassium nitrate

• starch

• sugar
