A nurse is caring for a client who has been exposed to an unknown chemical. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Instruct the client to remove their clothing.

Remain at least 1.8 meters (6 feet) from the client

Place the client's clothing in a plastic bag

Shower and scrub the client's skin.

None

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A)   Removing contaminated clothing is the first step in chemical exposure situations, since it reduces further absorption of the chemical.
B)   Maintaining a safe distance from the client helps prevent potential exposure to the unknown chemical but removing contaminated clothes is the priority.
C)   This step can be taken later for proper disposal but is not the immediate priority. Showering is an essential step after clothing removal to decontaminate the skin, but scrubbing should be avoided as it may cause further chemical absorption or skin irritation. Gentle rinsing with water is preferred.

D) While decontamination is important, it should be done by trained personnel using appropriate protocols and protective equipment.
