Question

question 9 (mandatory) (3 points)
which of the following is one way of preventing poisoning?
keep carbon monoxide detectors away from the kitchen
follow medicine prescriptions properly
keep small plastic toys away from children
avoid the overuse of bleach and disinfectant

Explanation:

• Keeping carbon monoxide detectors away from the kitchen is not a way to prevent poisoning. Carbon monoxide detectors should be placed in appropriate areas (like near sleeping areas) to detect carbon monoxide which can cause poisoning.
• Following medicine prescriptions properly is crucial. Taking the wrong dose or incorrect medications (not as prescribed) can lead to poisoning. For example, overdosing on medications.
• Keeping small plastic toys away from children is more about preventing choking hazards (a different type of safety issue, not poisoning).
• Avoiding overuse of bleach and disinfectant is a good general safety practice but not the most direct way of preventing poisoning compared to proper medicine prescription following.

Answer:

Follow medicine prescriptions properly.
