Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The terrorist event of September 11, 2001, and the anthrax cases have increased the awareness for the need to plan for disasters. Technology and surveillance will continue to advance. Disaster management continues to change and become more organized as learning occurs after each inci-dent, producing progressive best practices. National and state officials are very involved in dis-aster management. PHNs are particularly critical members of the multidisciplinary disaster health team given their population-based nursing focus and specialty knowledge in epidemiology and community assessment skills.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The SNS has the capacity to provide large quantities of medicine and medical supplies to protect the American public in a public health emergency. The Cities Readiness Initiative aids cities in increasing their capacity to deliver medicines and medical supplies during a public health emer-gency. The PHIN helps ensure information access and sharing. Project BioShield is a program to develop and produce new drugs and vaccines against potential bioweapons.
