Question 3 of 5
A nurse is working in a shelter following a disaster. Which of the following is the priority action for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Address the physical needs of clients. In a disaster situation, addressing physical needs such as providing water, food, shelter, and medical care is the priority to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals. This action takes precedence over other choices as it directly impacts survival. Creating diversionary activities (
A) can come later once basic needs are met. Helping gather supplies (
C) is important but not as urgent as addressing physical needs. Exploring feelings (
D) is essential for emotional support but should not be the priority over physical needs in the immediate aftermath of a disaster.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is conducting a community assessment. Which of the following information should the nurse include as part of the windshield survey?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Housing quality. During a windshield survey, the nurse observes the physical environment, including housing conditions. This information is crucial for assessing the community's living standards, health risks, and potential environmental health issues. Demographic data (choice
A) is important but can be obtained through other methods. Mortality rate (choice
B) is a statistical measure that may not be directly observed during a windshield survey. Informant interviews (choice
C) involve speaking with community members and are typically conducted separately from the windshield survey. Thus, choice D is the most relevant and essential information to include in a windshield survey.
Question 5 of 5
