Topic: Emergency Preparedness - Sheltering in Place
A nurse is educating the public on what to do during an emergency evacuation order. Which of the following is the most appropriate instruction for sheltering in place during a hazardous material spill?
A) Open all windows to ventilate the house
B) Stay indoors and close all windows and doors
C) Evacuate immediately to a safe area
D) Wait outside for emergency responders to arrive

Answer: B) Stay indoors and close all windows and doors
Rationale: Sheltering in place is the recommended action during a hazardous material spill. Closing all windows and doors helps prevent contaminated air from entering the building. It’s important to remain indoors and stay updated with emergency instructions. Evacuating or waiting outside may expose individuals to the hazard.

Topic: Disaster Management - Mass Casualty Incident (MCI)
During a mass casualty incident, a nurse is assigned to care for several patients. One of the patients has a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 5, and another has a GCS score of 12. Which patient should the nurse report as the highest rity for transport to the hospital?
A) The patient with a GCS of 5
B) The patient with a GCS of 12
C) Both patients should be transported at the same time
D) Neither patient should be transported

Answer: A) The patient with a GCS of 5
Rationale: The Glasgow Coma Scale is used to assess the level of consciousness and neurological function. A score of 5 indicates a significantly impaired level of consciousness, which suggests a more serious neurological injury or condition. This patient requires immediate attention and should be transported first. The patient with a GCS of 12 is less critical and can be transported later.

Topic: Disaster Management - Triage
A nurse is working in a disaster setting. The nurse has been trained to prioritize patients based on the severity of their injuries. Which of the following patients should the nurse prioritize for immediate care?
A) A patient with a fractured arm and no respiratory distress
B) A patient with severe chest pain and a respiratory rate of 28 breaths per minute
C) A patient with mild confusion and a laceration on the leg
D) A patient with a small burn on the arm and an oxygen saturation of 98%

Answer: B) A patient with severe chest pain and a respiratory rate of 28 breaths per minute
Rationale: In a disaster setting, the nurse must use triage principles to prioritize care. A patient with severe chest pain and an elevated respiratory rate may be experiencing a life-threatening condition such as a myocardial infarction or pulmonary embolism, which require immediate intervention. Patients with less severe or stable conditions (like a fractured arm or small burn) can be treated later.
