A16-year-old male contacted 911 to report he arrived home from school to find his parents unconscious in the home. while this young man was on the phone he stated that he felt sick and then he quit speaking but the dispatcher could still hear the television in the background. what is your primary concern as you report to this scene?

The primary concern is a likely carbon monoxide gas leak. the boy arrived home and soon started to feel sick. since carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms appear sooner in adolescents than in adults, we can use the boy’s age, 16, to determine that there is carbon monoxide present in the house. the dispatcher should let the responders arriving at the house to take caution when entering and to wear a gas mask until the presence of carbon monoxide is confirmed.

Can you list the drugs that you want answered for? i think maybe your answer could be a or b. but i’ll never know till you post the rest of this question.

True. the more you know, the better of you will be.
