A nurse manager is educating a new hire on which form of standardized structure is implemented in the hospital during an emergency response. The teaching has been effective when the new hire states:
a. "Emergency System for the Advance Registration of Volunteer Health Profes-sionals (ESAR-VHP) is implemented to coordinate and standardize command and operations.".
b. "START system of triage is implemented to coordinate and standardize command and operations.".
c. "Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) is implemented to coordinate and standardize command and operations.".
d. "Initiation of the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is implemented to coordinate and standardize command and operations.".
C
The Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) is a standardized command structure that allows for coordination and collaboration across jurisdictions and professions within a hospital facility during an emergency response. ESAR-VHP is a registry of health professionals that can be accessed and executed to recruit medical and clinical professionals (e.g., retired, nonlicensed) during an emergency response. START is a form of triage care used during a mass casualty event. MRC is a registry of medical reserve corps persons who can be recruited for overall assistance with a health or hospital facility during an emergency response.
