Description should include the concurrent symptom progression of

- hematological syndrome–lowered peripheral blood counts due to bone marrow damage
- gastrointestinal syndrome–diarrhea, fever, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance due to damage to gastrointestinal (GI) tract
- cardiovascular–(CV)/central nervous system (CNS)–convulsions, seizures, coma, death.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the symptoms of hematological syndrome?
- What are the symptoms of gastrointestinal syndrome?
- What are the symptoms of neurological syndrome?
- How do acute radiation syndromes occur?
