What should a nurse do if a patient has been exposed to sarin gas?

Sarin is a nerve gas that causes severe disruption to the nerve system. Decontamination is critically important. Nurse should wear protective clothing, including a respirator and rubber gloves. Immediately administer an auto-injector antidote of Atropine at 2 mg IM and 600 mg of Pralidoxine chloride. Use Atropine injections up to 3 times every 30 minutes. Use a mixture of with 10 cc bleach per liter of water for decontamination. Administer a Diazepam to control convulsions. 

If these are the missing choices: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin.b. determine body temperature by touching the patient's hands and feet.c. skin temperature will tell you very little about this patient's condition or well-being.d. the patient's skin temperature and color will likely be warm and red.my answer is: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin. using the back of the hand to check for temperature rather than the palm is more effective because the back of the hand has more nerves that can feel and transmit the temperature than the palm.
