5. A nurse prepares for the arrival of older persons evacuated from a forest fire in northern
Manitoba to a shelter for short-term care. Which of the following is the priority nursing
intervention?
a. Demonstrate that the staff is prepared to meet their needs.
b. Use individual medical records to develop a medication plan.
c. Help older persons to display family photos and memorabilia.
d. Help older persons to teach one another a new skill in the shelter.
ANS: B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Providing safety and security from the fire is evident and implied, as
the older persons have been evacuated from danger. The priority nursing
intervention is caring for any health concerns; e.g., medication or treatments that
were left behind.
B Correct. The nurse prepares for short-term care by prioritizing the needs of the
older persons, and this intervention helps to maintain the therapeutic plan,
thereby addressing the need for physiological integrity. Furthermore, the nurse
maintains continuity of care by preparing a medication schedule to prevent
missed doses of medication.
C Incorrect. In emergency conditions, the nurse provides basic care relating to
safety, security, and physical well-being. Maintaining a sense of belonging is
important, but not in emergency conditions.
D Incorrect. A state of emergency is not the time to develop self-esteem because
meeting safety, security, and physical needs is more important.
