Should you always induce vomiting if a victim has swallowed petroleum products?

  1. Yes, always

  2. No, never

  3. Only if directed by a physician or the product label

  4. Only if unconscious

The correct answer is: Only if directed by a physician or the product label

Inducing vomiting should not be done in all situations, as it may be harmful or unnecessary. Option A suggests that vomiting should always be induced, which is not true. Vomiting should only be induced if directed by a physician or the product label, as mentioned in option C. Option B states that it should never be induced, which is also incorrect. In certain cases, such as when directed by a physician, induced vomiting can be beneficial. Option D, which says it should only be induced if the person is unconscious, is not accurate. Even if a person is unconscious, it may not be necessary to induce vomiting. Therefore, the best option is C, which states that it should only be done if directed by a physician or the product label.
