The Emergency Preparedness Committee in a health care organization is reviewing available supplies for a mass casualty event since supplies need to be able to support the organization's functioning for:
1. 24 hours.
2. 48 hours.
3. 96 hours.
4. 1 week.
3
The plan must incorporate strategies to care for a large influx of clients for up to 96 hours because it may be this long before assistance from the government can arrive. The other choices are incorrect lengths of time for the organization to prepare for supplies.
