Answer to Question 1

A, B, E
Nursing leadership needs to lead efforts to ensure that all facility departments have an under-standing of their role in a disaster situation. The role of the staff nurse in a disaster must be clearly defined and contain performance standards, including policies that speak to expected hours or refusal to work (Danna et al., 2009). Nurse leaders are the coordinators in synchronizing department plans so that everything fits together to meet the staff's, patients', hospital's, and community's essential needs. Once the comprehensive all-hazards preparedness plans are com-plete, every department should understand their identified written role.

Answer to Question 2

B
Nurses derive their core power from being the health care providers that is trusted most by the public.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
