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.
