A nurse is volunteering on a disaster medical assistant team as a first responder. Which of the following tasks would the nurse be prepared to perform?
a. Set up immunization clinics
b. Assist in triaging disaster victims
c. Provide all the medical care for disaster victims
d. Complete a needs assessment of the community
ANS: B
As a first responder arriving on the scene, the plans for triaging of disaster victims should begin immediately. Setting up immunization clinics would not be a priority following a disaster. In re-sponding to a disaster, it may be impossible to provide all of the medical care for disaster victims. It would not be appropriate to start with completing a needs assessment of the community fol-lowing a disaster; this should be done before the disaster occurs.
