Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
All interpreters must be approved by the facility before becoming involved in a client's care. HIPAA regulations require special training for interpreters. The interpreter must have documentation of this training and must be an approved volunteer or employee of the healthcare organization.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
A disaster medical assistance team (DMAT) can provide assistance and support outside healthcare facilities by setting up a temporary hospital. The nurse may be asked to help relocate essential equipment, such as emergency resuscitation carts, intravenous infusion pumps, and solutions, during a disaster. Local emergency preparedness agencies are used for transportation facilities. Home care agencies generally involve the client's family and friends in the evacuation procedure.
