Shanaya and her boyfriend had a great time at the end of school party. she was the designated driver. her boyfriend was pretty blitzed, so he laid down in the back seat while she drove them home. when she got to their apartment house, she couldn't wake him up to get out of the car. she thought about just letting him sleep it off. she was irritated with him so she pinched him hard but he still did not respond. what should she do?

Answer:

If he is unresponsive she should stay with him, observe for signs of alcohol poisoning and call 911 if signs are present.

Step-by-step explanation:

Excessive alcohol consumption can cause the symptoms that Shanaya's boyfriend is showing. For this reason, she should watch for signs of poisoning and call 911 to seek professional help for her boyfriend.

Alcohol causes different effects on our body according to its concentration in the blood. Initially, alcohol acts as a stimulant, leaving the person more euphoric and uninhibited. But as doses increase, depressive effects begin to appear, leading to decreased motor coordination, reflexes, and drowsiness and poisoning, leading to death. Shanaya's boyfriend may be experiencing heavy alcohol intoxication and so doesn't respond to any of her attempts to wake him up. This is a very worrying case, so Shanaya should seek medical help by calling 911.
