Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Children can die after a single episode of huffing a volatile chemical, or they may suffer brain damage. Brain damage may be manifested as slurred or slow speech, memory loss, or personality changes. Irregular pulse, fainting, and anger are not signs of brain damage. Depression, cold extremities, and dyspnea are not signs of brain damage. Nausea, vomiting, and dizziness are not signs of brain damage.
