Which of the following best reflects what we know about how the flu virus moves between species? a) the flu virus in a pig is mutated and replicated in alternate arrangements so that humans who eat the pig products can be infected.b) a flu virus from a human epidemic or pandemic infects birds; the birds replicate the virus differently and then pass it back to humans.c) an influenza virus gains new sequences of dna from another virus, such as a herpesvirus; this enables it to be transmitted to a human host.d) an animal such as a pig is infected with more than one virus, genetic recombination occurs, the new virus mutates, the virus is passed to a new species such as a bird, and the virus mutates again and can now be transmitted to humans.

The parents of a 9-year-old girl bring their daughter to the ed. for the last 12 hours, the child has suffered severe nausea and vomiting, as well as diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. further discussion with the child indicates that she suffers from blurred vision and headache. the parents originally were worried about bringing the child to the ed because they feared deportation since the family are illegal immigrants employed to pick strawberries on a nearby farm. on direct questionning, the parents admit that the child was assisting with spraying crops with pesticides the previous day. none of the family members was wearing any protecting clothing. her bp is 88/48 mmhg, pulse is 90/min, rr 33/min, temp 38 c. the child appears sweaty and confused. auscultation of the lungs reveals a diffuse wheeze bilaterally. pupils are miotic and the child has diffuse muscle weakness. which of the following interventions is the most appropriate treatment? - atropine- charcoal- glucagon- naloxone- exposure: consider organophosphate poisoning, which inhibits cholinesterase and results in accumulation of ach in both muscarinic and nicotinic sites. pralidoxime activates achatropine competes with ach only at muscarinic receptors, but will not reverse nicotinic effectscharcoal = gastric decontaminationglucagon = reverse beta-blocker overdosenaloxone = reverse effects of opioids
