Answer

Answer: A."People in the community often suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning from space heaters or generators. Carbon monoxide easily binds with hemoglobin inside the red blood cells, and does not leave the red blood cells easily. Therefore, a persons’ oxygen carrying capacity lowers. Clients will often first report dizziness and headaches, but as it progresses, the clients can actually start to have a very red face that is often described as “cherry-red” or “beefy-red”. This includes their tongue and lips. The other signs here are not for carbon monoxide poisoning."
