Disaster Management and Emergency Preparedness Questions
Question 1 of 5
A disaster is a sudden event that can cause great destruction and human suffering and often
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it directly addresses the definition of a disaster as a sudden event causing destruction and suffering. Choice B is incorrect as it focuses solely on cyber disasters. Choice C is incorrect as it limits the cause of a radiological disaster to weapons. Choice D is incorrect as it narrowly defines a biological disaster. Choice A is the only option that encompasses the broad definition of a disaster.
Question 2 of 5
Nursing leadership competencies in disaster planning and crisis management encompass which of the following domains? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because assessing the disaster scene is crucial in determining the scope of the crisis, identifying immediate needs, and planning effective response strategies. This competency ensures quick and accurate decision-making. Option B, technical skills, while important, are not specific to leadership competencies in disaster planning. Budget and resource allocation (C) and risk communication (D) are also vital aspects but fall under different domains of disaster management, not specifically related to leadership competencies in planning and crisis management.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following questions should be considered in the hospital gap analysis survey of clinical operations readiness in the event of a disaster? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for why answer A is correct: 1. Staff safety is a top priority during disasters to ensure continuity of care. 2. Procedures for staff safety show preparedness and risk mitigation efforts. 3. Staff safety measures can impact overall clinical operations and patient care. Summary of why other choices are incorrect: B. While PPE is important, it is more specific and not as critical as overall staff safety. C. Patient tracking and confidentiality are important but not directly related to clinical operations readiness in a disaster. D. Lockdown plans are important but focus more on security measures rather than clinical operations readiness.
Question 4 of 5
An older individual attends an exercise class in the community's parks and recreation facility at the recommendation of their primary provider. At a follow-up appointment, the client tells the nurse in the primary care office that they are unable to perform several of the exercises due to problems with vertigo and have stopped attending the classes. The nurse determines that the client is experiencing which type of negative enabling factor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Accessibility of services. In this scenario, the individual is unable to attend exercise classes due to vertigo, indicating a barrier in accessing the services. The client wants to participate, but physical limitations prevent them. This negatively impacts their ability to benefit from the recommended program. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not directly address the individual's inability to access the services due to a health-related issue. Availability of resources (B) refers to the presence of necessary tools or materials, not the individual's physical condition. Community and government laws/policies (C) and issue-related skills (D) are not the primary factors hindering the individual's participation in the exercise class.
Question 5 of 5
A public health nurse is working with community members to develop a walking trail to encourage residents
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Primordial. This level of prevention aims to prevent the development of risk factors before they occur. Developing a walking trail to encourage physical activity aligns with primordial prevention by promoting a healthy lifestyle from the outset. Primary prevention (choice C) focuses on preventing the onset of diseases, while secondary prevention (choice D) involves early detection and treatment of diseases. Choice A is not a specific level of prevention but rather a question that does not directly relate to the scenario. Therefore, the nurse's action of creating a walking trail corresponds most closely with primordial prevention.
