Explanation:

• Question 1: When tick mouth - parts remain in the skin, it can cause infection or other issues, warranting medical attention. Location (urban area) doesn't necessarily mean medical attention is needed, and a dead tick after removal is not an automatic sign for medical help. Not all tick bites require medical care.
• Question 2: Inhaled poisons can sometimes be counteracted by moving the person to fresh air as it reduces further exposure to the poisonous substance in the air. Swallowed, absorbed, and injected poisons are not affected by moving to fresh air.
• Question 3: Calling emergency services or the local Poison Control Centre is the most important step as they have the expertise to guide on the best course of action. Inducing vomiting can be dangerous, looking for a container is secondary, and keeping still is not the top - priority action.

Answer:

1. a) When the tick's mouthparts stay in the skin when the tick is removed
2. b) Inhaled
3. d) Calling either EMS/9-1-1 or your local Poison Control Centre
