Multiple Choice

Use the following information to answer the questions below.
A patient comes into the emergency room having accidentally ingested methanol (a component in anti-freeze) . Methanol toxicity can lead to blindness, neurological issues, or death and must be treated quickly. Methanol is oxidized by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) to produce formaldehyde which is then converted to formic acid. ADH has a higher affinity to ethanol, where it functions to oxidize ethanol into acetaldehyde with the end product of the pathway being acetic acid (vinegar) .
-Knowing what you know about enzyme function, what would be your suggested course of treatment?

• A)Give plenty of fluids and monitor the patient.
• B)Give the patient acetic acid.
• C)Give the patient high levels of ethanol and carefully monitor.
• D)Keep the patient warm and rested and let it take its course.
• E)Give the patient an enzyme inhibitor so no formaldehyde is produced.
