Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Disaster kit assembly for the home, workplace, and car, especially by nurses, occurs during the preparedness phase. Heightened inspection and increased security in the community is part of the prevention activities. Purchase of personal protective equipment for all citizens and incorporation of provision of pets into local disaster plans are not realistic plans for preparedness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Causes of stress can be the shock of the disaster itself, loss of personal possessions, fear of the unknown, living in close proximity to total strangers, and boredom. Illnesses requiring first aid and communicable diseases are not the primary concern of the nurse working in the shelter. Im-mediately following the disaster, it is unlikely that the victims will immediately encounter de-pression because of the shock of the disaster.
