Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C
Feedback:
Public health nurses can play a crucial role in all phases of disaster management. Nurses have a diverse knowledge base, well-developed risk assessment and clinical skills (including clinical assessment and triage), and a strong commitment to public welfare that bring depth to the disaster management process. Public health nurses are experts in providing health education for the various populations in a community setting. Historically, disaster management has been viewed as the responsibility of police, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and hazardous materials (HAZMAT) management teams. Traditionally the first to arrive on the scene, they act to save lives (search and rescue), protect property, and meet basic human needs.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
An evaluation meeting, led by the local emergency response committee, takes place during the recovery phase. A detailed list of strengths and weaknesses, as well as successes and failures, should be developed. Following a thorough review of the responses, a final report is prepared with recommendations for improving emergency response in the future. The report should not emphasize the cohesiveness of the departmental response to the disaster but should consider both strengths and weaknesses of the response. The purpose should be to analyze the effectiveness of the plan, not the relief teams from respondent states. The primary purpose of the meeting is not to create a report for FEMA but to evaluate the local emergency response.
