  1. Limit your communication to physicians and other nurses.
  2. Be certain to maintain the client tracking system.
  3. All communication with law enforcement will be conducted through the public resources officers.
  4. Communication is likely to follow the standard daily pattern.

  3. Taking longer than scheduled breaks

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: The nurse will be communicating with multiple people in multiple roles during the disaster.
Rationale 2: A system to track the client's presence in the facility should be a part of the disaster plan. It is essential to maintain this system so that victims can be accounted for by rescuers.
Rationale 3: The nurse may be communicating directly with law enforcement officers who bring victims to the hospital. All status reports should be given through PR.
Rationale 4: Communication is very unlikely to be like the daily pattern.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. While working with different disciplines, work days are in a constant state of flux, and
sometimes nurses get behind. Frequent phone calls from family members while at work are a
time waster, but the stem asked for work-related, so this is incorrect. While taking longer
breaks does occur, it is not usually a reason for frequently having to work late. Volunteering
does occur, but the nurse who is having difficulty keeping up with work days would generally
not volunteer for extra responsibilities.
