It depends entirely on the poison. Without knowing what the poison is, all you can do is make sure you're wearing protective clothing, and be ready to CPR the patient until you get them to a hospital. For instance, is the poison is a strong acid (or any corrosive), I probably don't want to induce vomiting, as the stomach is better suited for handing acidics than the esophagus and mouth are. On the other hand, a slowly dissolving somatic poison with a long onset time and a patient who is acutely awake and aware -- I'd induce vomiting. Generally speaking, First Aid treatment of poisoning mostly means getting them to the hospital ASAP. For posioning questions, you might want to call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.

=Poisons can be introduced to the body either by: Absorption, Ingestion, Inhalation or Injection. There are many types of poison, and many different treatments.==A 'Golden Rule' about poisoning is: If the substance ingested is abrasive, (burns going down), do not make the patient vomit, as this will cause further damage.==Please refer to the web links for more information.=

Does a level 1 first aid course cover rural area first aid?

From looking at outlines of level 1 first aid, it will cover only the basics and will not get into rural, wilderness, or outdoor care. It may cover the basics of burns, frostbite, and poisoning; but that looks more like a level 2. I am not familiar with the levels as these levels are not typically a US first aid designation.
