Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

A
Initial management is rapid decontamination, supportive care, and drug therapy. People exposed to sulfur mustard should undress immediately and wash three times with soap and water.
Rushing the patient to the ED should not be the initial action and may make matters worse, be-cause it prolongs the patient's exposure and exposes all those in the confined vehicle.
Asking the wife for oxygen may be a good idea, but not initially, because the patient does not show any signs of respiratory distress.
Eye drops and petroleum jelly would not be the primary considerations.
