Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E
While stress management is unique to each person, some of the tools that may be effective in-clude taking personal downtime each day, getting enough sleep, eating right, exercising, and having a strong network of friends and family for support.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
The hospital will play an important role in the community in the case of a disaster. The materials, equipment, and training required for hospitals to prepare adequately for their role in responding to disasters are very expensive. Capital expenditures will be required to create decontamination facilities; purchase PPE; train and educate staff on effective all-hazards preparedness; stockpile emergency equipment, supplies, and pharmaceuticals; ensure adequate isolation rooms; and outfit a hospital command center. Hospitals need financial assistance to do this well, and the AHPTF members can be advocates for federal and state funding.
