Every hospital must prepare to treat victims of HAZMAT accidents before an event occurs. The hospital must provide appropriate HAZMAT training, provide personal protective equipment, and develop and disseminate policies and procedures necessary to quickly and efficiently treat contaminated patients (Levitin Siegelson, 1996, 2002 Pfaff, 1998). Guidelines for the initial management of patients with acute toxic exposures have been established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Initial treatment protocols are agent specific and are provided for review (see Table 25.13 CDC, 2006b). At a minimum, nurses should be aware of the guidelines and how to access them quickly at the point of care (see Table 25.14). 

The framework of the book is consistent with the United States National Response Plan, the National Incident Management System, and is based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention s (GDC) Competencies for public health preparedness and the GDC Guidelines for response to chemical, biological, and radiological events. This textbook will provide nurses with a heightened awareness for disasters and mass casualty incidents, a solid foundation of knowledge (educational competencies) and a tool box of skills (occupational competencies) to respond in a timely and appropriate manner.
