Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale 1: Weight loss and anorexia are long-term effects of radiation sickness.
Rationale 2: Fatigue is a long-term effect of radiation sickness.
Rationale 3: Radiation sickness causes suppression of the bone marrow, which increases the client's risk of developing or contracting infections.
Rationale 4: Nausea and vomiting are not long-term effects of radiation sickness.
Rationale 5: Diarrhea is not a long-term effect of radiation sickness.
Global Rationale: Long term effects of radiation exposure include weight loss and anorexia, fatigue, and radiation sickness. Nausea and vomiting and diarrhea are short term issues.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale 1: Vesicants blister the skin, respiratory tract, or eyes on contact.
Rationale 2: An acid burns the eyes, skin, and lining of the respiratory tract on contact.
Rationale 3: Tear gas irritates the eyes and respiratory tract.
Rationale 4: Nerve gas does not cause eye burning, coughing, and skin blisters.
Rationale 5: An incapacitating agent does not cause eye burning, coughing, and skin blisters.
Global Rationale: Exposure to vesicants, acids, or tear gas would result in these symptoms. Nerve gas and incapacitating agent exposure results in different symptoms.
