Questions and answers

Why must the isotope of concern be determined before recommending medical countermeasures?

Determining the isotope of concern because each type of medical countermeasure is isotope specific. (paragraph 1)

How much radiological contamination may removing clothing and shoes remove?

Removing all clothing and shoes may remove up to 90% of radiological contamination. (paragraph 2)

How can internal contamination of a patient be identified?

The most effective way is to perform nasal swabs and use the ADM-300 to determine if the swab contains any alpha, beta or gamma/x-ray contamination. (paragraph 3)

What should happen if internal contamination has occurred?

If internal contamination has occurred, medical countermeasures should be used. (paragraph 4)
