1. which stage of blood alcohol concentration (b.a.c.) is most likely associated with loss of motor coordination and severely impaired judgment?

a) stage 4: .11-.15 b.a.c. lost feelings

b) stage 2: .05-.07 b.a.c. happy

c) stage 6: .20-.29 b.a.c. in a stupor

d) stage 8: .40-.59 b.a.c. coma

Explanation:

To determine the stage of Blood Alcohol Concentration (B.A.C.) associated with loss of motor coordination and severely impaired judgment, we analyze each option:

• Option a (Stage 4: .11 - .15 B.A.C. LOST FEELINGS): At this B.A.C. range, motor coordination is lost and judgment is severely impaired, matching the described symptoms.
• Option b (Stage 2: .05 - .07 B.A.C. HAPPY): This stage is associated with mild effects like feeling happy, not severe motor or judgment impairment.
• Option c (Stage 6: .20 - .29 B.A.C. IN A STUPOR): This stage is more severe (stupor), but the symptoms in the question align better with Stage 4.
• Option d (Stage 8: .40 - .59 B.A.C. COMA): This is a life - threatening stage with coma, not the described symptoms.

Answer:

a) Stage 4: .11 - .15 B.A.C. LOST FEELINGS
