The Ebola virus has spread to several countries throughout Africa and Europe. As a member of an education subcommittee for the Global Alliance for Leadership in Nursing Education and Science what should the population health nurse prepare to present
during the next scheduled meeting?
1. Approaches to improve standard precautions in underdeveloped countries.
2. Strategies to reduce travel to the countries experiencing outbreaks of the virus.
3. Ways to provide face masks to travelers in the countries experiencing outbreaks.
4. Documentation supporting the number of new cases identified over the last week.
Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. The Global Alliance for Leadership in Nursing Education and Science (GANES). GANES is an organization established to support health care policy makers and nurse educators throughout the world. GANES activities include promoting sharing among nurse educators around the world, providing information and advice to global policy makers related to nursing education issues, and supporting development of a sound evidence base for nursing practice and education. The one action that the nurse should take in preparation for the meeting would be to provide approaches to improve standard precautions in underdeveloped countries. This would support the educational purpose of GANES. Strategies to reduce travel would not be a nursing activity. Identifying ways to provide face masks to travelers could be an operationalization of an approach to reduce the spread of the infection. Documenting the number of new cases identified does not support the purpose of GANES.
