5. A nurse practitioner 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 requirements.
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.
CORRECT CHOICE:- B

Rationale:
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 practitioner prepares for short-term care by prioritizing the
requirements of the older persons, and this intervention helps to maintain the
therapeutic plan, thereby addressing the need for physiological integrity.
Furthermore, the nurse practitioner
maintains continuity of care by preparing a medication schedule to prevent
missed doses of medication.
C Incorrect. In emergency conditions, the nurse practitioner 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 requirements is more important.
