You are caring for clients who have been exposed to a toxic nerve agent. You will need to use diazepam with these clients. Why is diazepam given when managing the effects of toxic nerve agent toxicity?
Answer: To control possible seizures
Explanation:
Seizures are likely to occur only after exposure to a nerve agent. Diazepam controls seizures. Atropine sulfate counteracts excess acetylcholine at muscarinic sites. Pralidoxime chloride reactivates acetylcholinesterase. Atropine is typically administered to stop any kind of hypersecretion.
