This code signifies an injury sustained by a terrorist due to their own involvement in an act of terrorism using chemical weapons. It specifically indicates that this is the first time the patient is being treated for this particular injury.

Apply this code when a perpetrator of a chemical weapons attack presents for medical care for injuries directly resulting from their own deployment or handling of the chemical agent. This would include scenarios where the terrorist is exposed to the chemical weapon they intended to use on others.

• Ensure documentation clearly identifies the patient as the perpetrator and the weapon as chemical.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the specific injury; subsequent encounters would require a different encounter character.
• Always sequence this code as a primary diagnosis when it represents the reason for the encounter.
