Question 1 of 5
Several passengers aboard an airliner suddenly become weak and suffer breathing difficulty. The diagnosis is likely to be:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The most likely cause of groups of individuals suddenly experiencing similar signs of illness all at once is a chemical exposure. In this scenario, considering the sudden onset of symptoms in multiple passengers on an airliner, the symptoms are more indicative of a chemical exposure rather than Asian flu, bacterial pneumonia, or an allergic reaction. Asian flu, bacterial pneumonia, and allergic reactions do not typically manifest in a way that would affect a group of individuals simultaneously.
Therefore, the correct diagnosis in this case is likely to be a chemical exposure.
