Question

Match List I with List II

	List I-(Poisoning)		List II-(Treatment)
A	Warfarin	I	Pralidoxime
B	Carbon monoxide	II	Oxygen
C	Cyanide	III	Vitamin K
D	Nitrites	IV	Dicobalt edatate
E	Organophosphates	V	Methylene blue

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. 1:R, 2:Q, 3: S, 4: T, 5: P
• B. 1:P, 2:Q, 3: T, 4: S, 5: R
• C. 1:Q, 2:S, 3:P, 4:R, 5: T
• D. 1:T, 2:Q, 3: R, 4:P, 5:S

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve the question, we need to correctly match the poisonings listed in List I with their appropriate treatments in List II. Understanding the nature of each poisoning and its treatment is crucial. 

1. Warfarin – Treatment: Vitamin K
   • Warfarin is an anticoagulant, and in cases of Warfarin overdose, Vitamin K is administered as an antidote to reverse its effects.
2. Carbon Monoxide – Treatment: Oxygen
   • Carbon monoxide binds with hemoglobin, preventing oxygen transport. The main treatment is pure oxygen to displace carbon monoxide from hemoglobin.
3. Cyanide – Treatment: Dicobalt edetate
   • Cyanide poisoning can be treated with Dicobalt edetate, which helps to chelate cyanide ions and mitigate toxicity.
4. Nitrites – Treatment: Methylene blue
   • Nitrites can cause methemoglobinemia, and the treatment involves using Methylene blue, which reduces methemoglobin back to hemoglobin.
5. Organophosphates – Treatment: Pralidoxime
   • Organophosphate poisoning affects the nervous system, and Pralidoxime works by reactivating acetylcholinesterase inhibited by organophosphates.

Based on this reasoning, the correct matches are:

1	R
2	Q
3	S
4	T
5	P

The correct option is 1:R, 2:Q, 3:S, 4:T, 5:P.
