Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E
The nurse can assist families to prepare for natural disasters, such as hurricanes or floods, or manmade disasters, such as bioterrorist attacks or bombings. The American Medical Association (AMA) office guidelines for preparing a family and community disaster plan state that the family should keep several days' supply of food, water, pet food, warm clothing, blankets, copies of vital documents, and toiletries on hand. A battery-powered radio and extra medications, eyeglasses, and basic first aid supplies are also essential.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The influenza vaccine should not be given to children who are allergic to eggs.
