Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

The priority action for protecting the nurse's family is obtaining a fire escape ladder for the second floor. Water purification may be important, depending on the quality of the water, but obtaining a fire escape ladder is the priority. Installing a generator may be useful in the case of a power outage, but obtaining a fire escape ladder is the priority. Deadbolt locks are good to keep intruders out, but protecting the family from entrapment by fire is the priority.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

During the mitigation phase of the emergency response, the community identifies the potential hazards and takes measures to prevent or minimize the emergency. A comprehensive disaster plan is part of phase 1, the preparedness phase. A coordinated response to emergencies occurs during the third phase, emergency response. Programs to restore the community are part of the recovery phase.
