Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale 1: The thyroid is the organ most susceptible to nuclear and radiation exposure, and symptoms of radiation exposure remain some of the most difficult to treat pharmacologically. Taking potassium iodide (KI) tablets prior to or immediately after a nuclear accident can prevent up to 100 percent of the radioactive iodine (I-131) from entering the thyroid tissue and damaging thyroid cells.
Rationale 2: Taking potassium iodide (KI) tablets prior to or immediately after a nuclear accident can prevent up to 100 percent of the radioactive iodine (I-131) from entering the thyroid tissue and damaging thyroid cells.
Rationale 3: Taking potassium iodide (KI) tablets prior to or immediately after a nuclear accident can prevent up to 100 percent of the radioactive iodine (I-131) from entering the thyroid tissue and damaging thyroid cells.
Rationale 4:Radiation exposure can be treated with medications is incorrect. Taking potassium iodide (KI) tablets prior to or immediately after a nuclear accident can prevent up to 100 percent of the radioactive iodine (I-131) from entering the thyroid tissue and damaging thyroid cells.

Global Rationale: The thyroid is the organ most susceptible to nuclear and radiation exposure, and symptoms of radiation exposure remain some of the most difficult to treat pharmacologically. Taking potassium iodide (KI) tablets prior to or immediately after a nuclear accident can prevent up to 100 percent of the radioactive iodine (I-131) from entering the thyroid tissue and damaging thyroid cells.
