The nurse is teaching nursing students about personal emergency preparedness. Which statement by a student indicates that further teaching is indicated?
a. "I will get a prescription for antibiotics just in case I have to work in an area that has been infected with anthrax."
b. "I should keep an extra uniform in my locker in case I get stuck at work."
c. "I may be torn between caring for my young daughter and caring for victims at work."
d. "I should make plans for my family to evacuate our house in case of tornado or earthquake."
A
The student would have no reason to obtain a prescription for anthrax unless he or she demon-strates clinical evidence of anthrax infection or has been exposed to a substance that tests posi-tive for anthrax. Statements about planning to keep an extra uniform at work, recognizing the moral dilemmas he or she might encounter when working in a disaster situation, and under-standing personal preparation for disasters all indicate that the student comprehends information about disaster planning and emergency preparedness.
