A49-year-old man has been removed from his overturned tanker, which was carrying a hazardous material. the tank ruptured and he was exposed to the material. when rescue personnel bring him to the decontamination area, they note that he is unconscious and has slow, shallow breathing. they should:
cut away all of the patient's clothing and do a rapid rinse to remove as much of the contaminating matter as they can.(t/f)

That statement is true.

Explanation:

The Clothing that we wear tend to create a certain pressure that prevent our body from fully extended. On normal circumstances, this wouldn't cause any problem. But for someone in critical condition and experienced a slow, shallow breathing, this could be really dangerous since the restriction prevented the lung from obtaining the maximum amount of air.

Rapid rinse to remove the contamination also important since the contaminated substances could damage the internal organs if they are not disposed.  We usually use the combination of  water , soap . oxidation material , along with acidic-base hydrolysis. to do this.
