Question

Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Employees may be unwilling to come back into the disaster.
2. Employees may be personally affected by the disaster.

4. There may be no way to contact employees for call-back.
5. The employee may not physically be able to return to the hospital.

Answer 1

1,2,4,5
Rationale 1: There is no assurance that employees will respond by returning to work once a disaster has happened.
Rationale 2: It is impossible to know if employees will be personally affected by the disaster. For example, if the employee's home is destroyed by a wildfire, that employee would have pressing family needs.
Rationale 3: This may occur, but is not a key impediment.
Rationale 4: If utilities such a telephone and cell phone towers are destroyed, there may be no way to contact the employee to come back to the hospital.
Rationale 5: There may be physical impediments such as washed out roads, snow-packed roads, or debris-covered roads that prevent employees from returning to the hospital.
