The examination procedure described, where an examiner feels or presses parts
of the body with their fingers, is known as palpation. This technique is a key
part of a physical examination to assess the texture, size, consistency,
location, and tenderness of body organs or structures.
Palpitation refers to a person's subjective sensation of their own heart beat
being rapid, pounding, or skipped.
Inspection involves visually examining the body for signs of disease or injury.
Auscultation is the action of listening to sounds from organs (like the heart,
lungs, or intestines) with a stethoscope.
The generally accepted "certainly lethal dose" range for 70 kg adults, i.e., from 5 to 10 g of sodium fluoride or from 32 to 64 mg fluoride/kg
The concept of a "probably toxic dose" (PTD) is advanced. The PTD, 5.0 mg F/kg, is defined as the dose of ingested fluoride that should trigger immediate therapeutic intervention and hospitalization because of the likelihood of serious toxic consequences.
What is lethal dose of fluoride?
1) 32 – 64 F/Kg body wt
2) 8 – 16 F/Kg body wt
3) 5 – 10 F/Kg body wt
4) 16 – 24 F/Kg body wt
