If you suspect that a student is experiencing a drug overdose, you should try to get the student to vomit. True or False?

The statement is false because inducing vomiting in a case of suspected drug overdose can often do more harm than good. When a student is experiencing an overdose, the priority is to seek medical help immediately. Inducing vomiting can lead to choking, aspiration, or additional complications, especially if the substance involved is caustic or if the student is unconscious or semi-conscious. It’s essential to ensure the student’s airway is secure and monitor their condition while waiting for emergency services. Providing clear and accurate information to medical personnel can also assist in their treatment. Thus, the best course of action is to call for help and provide support rather than attempting to induce vomiting.
