Abstract

As primary care providers, we must consider the manifestations of radiation sickness and syndromes when managing radiological injuries. Assessment and treatment regimens include unique sample handling requirements to avoid self-contamination and further contamination of the environment. Addressing psychological aspects and the needs of pediatric and geriatric populations is also important for effective treatment.
