title: [Organophosphate poisoning].
abstract: The number of patients admitted to Intensive Care Units with organophosphate poisoning are a source of concern. Also distressing is the fact that organophosphates are often being used in suicide attempts. It is therefore imperative that the nurse acquires and retains the necessary skills for caring for these patients. The course of this condition and the associated nursing care is discussed at length in this article in an attempt to equip you with these skills.
