1. Which of the following best defines a disaster?
a. Any event that results in multiple deaths
b. Devastation that cannot be relieved without assistance
c. Devastation that covers a broad geographic area
d. When the event results in multiple injuries and deaths as well as property damage - ANSWER ANS: B
A disaster is any human-made or natural event that causes disruption, destruction, or devastation that
cannot be relieved without external assistance. A disaster does not need to involve injuries or deaths.
The devastation may not cover a broad area, rather the main concept of the definition of a disaster is
that it can not be relieved without assistance.
2. Which of the following best describes countries that bear the greatest burden of disasters? a. Arid
regions that are prone to drought
b. Developing countries with limited resources
c. Industrialized countries with much to lose
d. Water-boundary regions that are prone to floods and hurricanes - ANSWER ANS: B
Disasters create the most devastation in developing countries. The people of low socioeconomic status
suffer the most because their houses are less sturdy and they have fewer resources and less means of
social security. The climate and location of the country does not relate to its risk of bearing the burden of
disasters. Industrialized countries have a higher socioeconomic status and can better address disasters if
they occur.
3. What is the purpose of the National Response Framework?
a. Create a new branch of government that deals with bioterrorism
, b. Establish a way for the Red Cross to carry out its mission
c. Define roles, responsibilities, and relationships critical to effective emergency preparedness
d. Extend presidential power to act quickly upon weapons of mass destruction - ANSWER ANS: C
The National Response Framework, a successor to the National Response Plan, "helps define the roles,
responsibilities, and relationships critical to effective emergency planning, preparedness, and response
to any emergency or disaster." The NRF serves as a guide for conducting a nationwide all-hazards
response that is flexible and adaptable and that links all levels of the government with nongovernmental
organizations and the private sector. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security was developed in 2002
to develop and coordinate the implementing of a comprehensive national strategy to secure the United
States from terrorist threats or attacks. Eventually, the NRF was developed within this department. The
National Response Framework helps to provide a linkage for the Red Cross to other organizations, but
does not assist with it carrying out its mission. The NRF does not change presidential power.
4. When does disaster management begin?
a. Before the disaster occurs
b. During the disaster
c. Immediately following the disaster
d. During the recovery period - ANSWER ANS: A
Disaster management includes the four stages of a disaster: prevention, preparedness, response, and
recovery. The first stage of prevention (or mitigation) occurs before the disaster occurs. Disaster
management that occurs during the disaster is called response. Recovery occurs following the disaster.
5. A nurse is focused on mitigation of disasters at the international level. Which of the following activities
would the nurse most likely complete?
a. Provide community educational programs and training on how to prepare for disasters.
b. Request donations be sent to the affected area.
c. Develop a notification procedure to be used by the international disaster relief office.
d. Recruit volunteers to be a part of the disaster team that will travel to the afflicted area. - ANSWER
ANS: A
Mitigation refers to actions to prevent specific disasters from occurring or to reduce the severity of a
disaster's effects if it cannot be avoided. Providing community educational programs on disaster
preparedness is the only intervention that addresses mitigation. Requesting donations be sent to the
affected area occurs during the disaster and is known as the response. Developing a notification
procedure would occur as part of the preparedness stage. Depending on the timing of the recruitment,
this would be part of either the preparedness or response stage.
