Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Disaster preparedness and management competencies include participation in the development of a data gathering system that addresses morbidity, mortality, mental health, and infectious disease. Although displacement of people due to a disaster, the status of community infrastructure, and the availability of healthcare workers are concerns during a disaster, they would not be key areas of concern for a data collection subcommittee.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B, C
Feedback:
Ebola hemorrhagic fever is a severe, often fatal viral disease in humans, and it is one of the most virulent viral diseases known to humankind. No treatment or vaccine is available, and death occurs in 50 to 90 of all cases of clinical illness. Once illness is confirmed, isolation is enforced along with strict infection control techniques. Treatment with an antiviral or antitoxin would not be effective. Rinsing of the eyes is performed following a chemical disaster, not with the Ebola hemorrhagic fever.
