Question 7846
To reduce the risk of having an accident due to an illness and the effects of its treatment, you must...
- reduce the dose of the medication while driving.
- ignore the symptoms so as not to get distracted.
- recognize the first symptoms and know how to act.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: recognize the first symptoms and know how to act.
If you recognize the early warning signs of an episode and know what to do, you can stop in time. For example, with diabetes, dizziness and weakness warn of a drop in blood sugar. If that happens, signal, stop in a safe place, and follow your doctor’s instructions. Ignoring symptoms or lowering your dose on your own increases the risk.
