The nurse is appointed to be a member of the risk communication team during a disaster response situation. During an evacuation, the nurse is informed that an increasing number of individuals are reluctant to leave their homes
To complete an orderly evacuation, it is necessary to:
A) Involve the armed forces
B) Declare martial law
C) Create an environment of trust and credibility
D) Disseminate information regarding the necessity of the evacuation
Ans: C
Feedback:
Risk communication often involves multiple messages between multiple groups concerning the nature of risk. The perception of the risk depends on the circumstances. For example, although a voluntary evacuation may produce anxiety, it is more acceptable than one imposed on citizens. Earning trust and credibility is essential for effective risk communication. It is especially important when dealing with the fear factor associated with a deliberate attack. During this process, public health officials and representatives must provide clear, accurate information in such a way that fear is minimized. Thus, it would not be appropriate to involve the armed forces or declare martial law. There is likely no time to disseminate information regarding the necessity of the evacuation.
