What is the correct action if someone is showing signs of carbon monoxide poisoning indoors?

  1. Open all windows and doors

  2. Turn off all electrical appliances

  3. Move the person to fresh air immediately

  4. Drink plenty of water

The correct answer is: Move the person to fresh air immediately

If someone is showing signs of carbon monoxide poisoning, opening windows and doors or turning off electrical appliances will not effectively remove the carbon monoxide from the air. The best course of action is to move the person to fresh air immediately. Drinking water will not help with carbon monoxide poisoning either. It is important to get the affected person out of the contaminated environment as soon as possible.
