Q

How do you react to a nuclear attack without warning?

Study These Flashcards
A

Take immediate action upon:
seeing brilliant flash of light
loud explosion
when the alarm is sounded

Find protective cover if available

24
Q

How do you react without a weapon for a nuclear attack without warning?

A

drop face down immediately, head facing toward blast

close eyes

protect or cover exposed skin by:

- keeping helmet on
- putting hands/arms under or near body
25
How do you react with a weapon for a nuclear attack without warning?
drop face down immediately, head facing toward blast place the weapon under your body or beside you with sling wrapped tightly around your arm and muzzle pointed away from your face keep head down remain face down for 90 seconds or until debris has stopped falling
26
For a chemical or biological attack without warning, how long do you have to react?
15 seconds or less stop breathing, close mouth
27
What is a nerve agent?
disrupts nerve impulses in the parasympathetic nervous system
28
What are the signs and symptoms of exposure to a nerve agent?
CPR-HLD ``` Convulsion Pin point pupils Runny nose Hypersalivation Local muscle twitching Dyspnea ```
29
Treatment for when exposed to nerve agents
3 Sets of: 2mg atropine 600 mg 2PAM/CL Use on thighs or buttocks, 10-15 min after first set, then 10min interval until atropinization occurs (tachycardia, dry mouth)
30
What does a blister agent do and what are the types of blistering agents?
produce large and painful blisters that are incapacitating Mustard (HN & HD) Lewisite (L)
31
MUSTARD (HN)
HN and HD are types of blister agents that are oily, colorless, or pale yellow Sparingly water soluble HN is less volatile and more persistent than HD with the same blistering qualities
32
What are signs and symptoms of exposure to a mustard agent?
D-E-B-B Death from edema and pulmonary obstruction Eyes will have painful and gritty feeling Burns on sweaty areas Blisters after 12-48 hours
33
Treatment if exposed to mustard poisoning?
there is no treatment remove as much mustard as possible provide pain and itch relief and control infection
34

arsenic base compound that vaporizes slowly and is a light to dark brown liquid
35
Signs and symptoms of exposure to Lewisite?
intense pain upon contact
36
Treatment of exposure to Lewisite?
Wash with copious amounts of water 30% sodium sulfatacemide for eye infection within 24hrs BAL-peanut suspension no more than 3mg will cause severe symptoms
37
What are blood agents?
interfere with enzyme functions in the body, i.e. block oxygen transfer almond like odor CK (cyanogen Khloride) "Bloods are CK *Crip Killers*"

42
Treatment of exposure
mandatory bed rest | provide oxygen
43
Incapacitating agents
psychochemicals that cause confusion and disable intelligent function BZ incapacitating agent that: alters activity of CNS high potency lasts hours or days
44
Signs and symptoms of incapacitating agent exposure
``` appear within 30min to several weeks abnormal behavior acting irrational delusion/ hallucinations dizziness muscle problems difficulty swallowing dry mouth ```
45
Treatment of incapacitating agent exposure
Prevent from harming themselves or others Phisostimine but not effective within the 4hrs of exposure
46
