Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The EMA is responsible for developing and coordinating emergency response plans in a defined area. The ARC works with communities in the preparedness, response, and recovery phases of a disaster. The CDC studies the effect that disasters have on population health and continuously develops new prevention strategies. The NDMS provides nurses the opportunity to work on spe-cialized disaster response teams.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Reestablishing sanitary barriers and focusing on water, food, waste disposal, vector control, shelter, and safety are the first goals. After this has been established, the nurse can address the cleanup of the environment, the stress reactions of the victims, and the need to bring in addition-al workers.
