The nurse is helping stock Push Packages. The purpose of these packages is to:
1. transport appropriate personnel to disaster sites.
2. maintain supplies available for emergencies within 12 hours.
3. manage incoming equipment when a disaster occurs.
4. provide information booklets to communities experiencing a disaster.
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Transporting appropriate personnel to disaster sites is not the purpose of Push Packages.
Rationale 2: Push Packages include preassembled caches of drugs, antidotes, and medical supplies that broadly cover a nonspecific emergency for use in early hours. Stored strategically, deployment can be accomplished within 12 hours.
Rationale 3: Managing incoming equipment when a disaster occurs is not the purpose of Push Packages.
Rationale 4: Providing information booklets to communities experiencing a disaster is not the purpose of Push Packages.
Global Rationale: Push Packages include preassembled caches of drugs, antidotes, and medical supplies that broadly cover a nonspecific emergency for use in early hours. Stored strategically, deployment can be accomplished within 12 hours. The remaining purposes are managed by other means.
