Chapter 18: Emergency Management and Disaster Preparedness
MacDonald/Jakubec: Stanhope and Lancaster’s Community Health Nursing in
Canada, 4th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. When does the mitigation phase of disaster management begin?
a. Before the disaster occurs
b. During the disaster
c. Immediately following the disaster
d. During the recovery period
ANS: A
Canada’s Emergency Management Framework includes four stages: prevention and
mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. The first stage, mitigation, takes place
before a hazardous event occurs.
PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension/Understand
REF: Canada’s Emergency Management Framework OBJ: 18.4
TOP: Safe and Effective Care Environment
2. In the event of a disaster localized to one district, what group would most likely direct the
community nursing response?
a. Canadian Red Cross
b. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention
c. Centre for Emergency Preparedness and Response (CEPR)
d. Paramedics
ANS: C
The CEPR (under the umbrella of the Public Health Agency of Canada) is responsible for
coordinating services required to handle all health risk and security threats in Canada. It
provides a comprehensive program to train and certify Health Emergency Response Teams to
respond to emergency situations in Canadian communities. Although paramedics play an
important role in disaster management, a known director, such as the CEPR, must coordinate
the response.

3. After surviving a house fire, a 5-year-old begins sucking their thumb and wetting their bed.
What would be the best community health nurse (CHN) intervention?
a. Explain to the child that it is important to be strong and not act like a baby.
b. Reassure the family that this behaviour is a normal reaction to a traumatic
experience.
c. Recommend admission into a hospital for psychological counselling.
d. Recommend behaviour therapy to treat regression.
ANS: B
, The effects of a traumatic experience can be especially severe on young children, who may
resort to regressive behaviours such as sucking the thumb, wetting the bed, crying, and
clinging to caregivers as a coping mechanism. This regressive behaviour is a normal response
to trauma.
4. On the second day after a disaster, a disaster relief worker is found to be irritable and having
difficulty focusing. The worker denies having any problem other than a headache. Which is
the best action?
a. Dismiss the problem of inability to focus as probably being the result of worry, so
that the worker can concentrate on the work at hand and deal with his emotions
later.
b. Explain to the relief worker that they are experiencing signs and symptoms of
psychological stress and recommend that they take some time off from work to
relax.
c. Explain to the worker that their problem arises from multitasking and advise them
to focus on one task at a time.
d. Suspect dehydration and encourage the worker to drink more fluids.
ANS: B
Early symptoms of stress and burnout include minor tremors, nausea, inability to concentrate,
difficulty thinking, and problems with memory. Suppressing feelings of guilt, powerlessness,
anger, and other signs of stress eventually will lead to more serious symptoms, such as
irritability, fatigue, headaches, and distortions of bodily functions. It is normal to experience
stress, but it must be treated. The worst thing anyone can do when experiencing stress is to
deny that it exists.
5. What level of prevention is the community health nurse (CHN) implementing when
participating in the development of a community-wide disaster management plan?
a. Primary prevention
b. Secondary prevention
c. Tertiary prevention
d. All prevention levels
ANS: A
Developing a disaster management plan for the community constitutes primary prevention,
which takes place before a disaster occurs.
PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension/Understand
REF: Box: Levels of Prevention Related to Disaster Management
OBJ: 18.4 TOP: Health Promotion and Maintenance
6. What is the purpose of disaster planning?
a. Decreasing global instability
b. Disrupting and altering community functioning
c. Managing response to disasters
