Question

first aid for victims of carbon monoxide poisoning starts with recognizing the signs of exposure: _________, nausea, headache, dizziness, or light-headedness. a. bluish skin tone b. rolling of the eyes c. shortness of breath d. fever

Explanation:

Carbon monoxide poisoning affects the body's ability to transport oxygen. Shortness of breath is a common symptom as the body struggles to get enough oxygen. Bluish skin tone (cyanosis) usually occurs due to lack of oxygen in the blood but is more associated with other respiratory or cardiac issues rather than a typical early sign of carbon monoxide poisoning. Rolling of the eyes is not a common initial sign of carbon - monoxide poisoning. Fever is not related to carbon - monoxide exposure as it is a sign of infection or inflammation.

Answer:

C. Shortness of breath
