Question

What might have to happen if the patient is found inside a toxic environment?

Accepted Answer

In this case, patients may need to be decontaminated by specially trained personnel after they are removed from the environment. The patient's clothing should be removed in this process because it may contain trapped gases that can be released. You cannot administer emergency care until this step has been completed and there is no danger of the poison contaminating you.
