摘要：

PURPOSE. Children are especially vulnerable to the effects of chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction (WMD) because of physiologic, pharmacologic, and developmental characteristics. Presentation of signs and symptoms of exposure to biological and chemical agents are similar to those seen in adults. Pediatric considerations for decontamination and treatment of child victims of biological and chemical agents are discussed. CONCLUSION. As front-line providers, nurses need to be aware of potential agents, their uses and effects as WMD, and recommended treatments. PRACTICE IMPLICATION. Understanding the additional physiologic and situational needs of children, nurses can optimize the survival and outcomes of children when disaster strikes.
