Zinc is an important cofactor in the body and is essential for normal function; however, increased levels of zinc can become toxic. Three types of exposure can lead to toxicity: inhalation, oral, and dermal. Most cases are acute toxicity, so treatment plans are minimal, such as chelation therapy or prescribed medication. This activity outlines the zinc toxicity evaluation and explains the interprofessional team’s role in treating patients with this condition.
