Which of the following are nerve agents?

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (Based on NREMT standards):

Nerve agents are highly toxic organophosphate chemicals that inhibit acetylcholinesterase, leading to excess acetylcholine accumulation and life-threatening cholinergic effects. NREMT hazardous materials education highlights recognition of these agents due to their rapid lethality.

Option C (Tabun) and D (Sarin) are correct. Both are internationally recognized nerve agents historically used in chemical warfare and terrorist attacks.

Option A (Naloxone) is an opioid antagonist, not a nerve agent.

Option B (Metoprolol) is a beta-blocker medication.

Option E (Atropine) is not a nerve agent; it is an antidote used to treat nerve agent poisoning.

NREMT emphasizes scene safety, recognition of toxidromes, and early antidote administration for nerve agent exposure.
