In the case of a patient experiencing seizures due to nerve agent exposure, immediate decontamination is crucial; remove any contaminated clothing and wash the skin with soap and water. Administer atropine to counteract the effects of the nerve agent and provide diazepam or another anticonvulsant to control seizures. Continuous monitoring of respiratory function and vital signs is essential, and supportive care, including oxygen therapy if needed, should be provided. Transport the patient to a medical facility equipped to handle chemical exposure for further treatment.

When decontaminating a patient exposed to a CBRNE agent using water, it is crucial to remove any contaminated clothing and jewelry first to minimize further exposure. Then, gently rinse the skin with copious amounts of water, starting from the head and working downward, to avoid spreading the contaminant to clean areas. Avoid scrubbing the skin, as this can drive the agent deeper into the tissue. After rinsing, ensure that the patient is assessed for any signs of exposure and receives appropriate medical care.
