What is not recommended for inducing vomiting after poisoning?

Putting a finger at the back of the throat
Drinking lots of water
Using Ipecac syrup
Collecting vomitus for the doctor

The correct answer is: Using Ipecac syrup

Using Ipecac syrup is not recommended for inducing vomiting after poisoning because it can actually worsen the effects of the poison and cause further harm to the body. It can also delay seeking medical attention, which is crucial in cases of poisoning. Putting a finger at the back of the throat, while not the most advisable method, is often used as a last resort in emergency situations. Drinking lots of water may help dilute the poison, but it is not an effective method for inducing vomiting. Collecting vomitus for a doctor is helpful in identifying the type of poison ingested, but it is not a method for inducing vomiting.
