Professional Context

Nurses fulfill a variety of roles, and their diverse responsibilities as health care providers extend to the community. The decisions we make daily and in times of crisis often involve the balancing of human rights with medical necessities, equitable access to services, legal and ethical mandates, and financial constraints. When an unanticipated event occurs, such as an accident or natural disaster, issues can arise that complicate decisions about meeting the needs of an individual or group, including understanding and upholding their rights and desires, mediating conflict, and applying established ethical and legal standards of nursing care. As a nurse, you must be knowledgeable about disaster preparedness to safeguard those in your care. You are also accountable for promoting equitable quality of care for community residents.

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply the concepts of emergency preparedness, public health assessment, triage, management, and surveillance after a disaster. You will also focus on hospital evacuation and extended displacement periods.

Demonstration of Proficiency

Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly communication strategies to lead health promotion and improve population health.
Present a compelling case to community stakeholders to obtain their approval and support for a proposed disaster recovery plan.

Note: Complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

Preparation

When disaster strikes, community members must be protected. A comprehensive recovery plan, guided by the MAP-IT (Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, Track) framework, is essential to help ensure everyone’s safety. The unique needs of residents must be assessed to lessen health disparities and improve access to equitable services after a disaster. Recovery efforts depend on the appropriateness of the plan, the extent to which key stakeholders have been prepared, and the allocation of available resources. In a time of cost containment, when personnel and resources may be limited, the needs of residents must be weighed carefully against available resources.

In this assessment, you are a member of a community task force responsible for developing a disaster recovery plan for the Vila Health community using MAP-IT, which you will present to city officials and the disaster relief team.

Disaster Preparedness and Management

Introduction

Context

You are a nurse manager working the 7:00–3:30 a.m. shift in the emergency room at your local hospital. You have 10 years experience in the hospital’s emergency department (ED).

A train has just derailed in the community, causing a range of casualties. First responders are on site and are relaying information to you via remote communication systems from across town. You are responsible for determining how your team should prioritize incoming casualties. You activate the disaster response system at your hospital, only to realize that you are short-staffed due to a recent flu outbreak. Nurses without ED experience have been reassigned to the ED from other units.

Nurses Staffing the ED

· Nurse Manager – You have 10 years ED experience and are certified in disaster management

· Novice nurse with less than 6 months experience

· Registered nurse with 20 years of rehabilitation experience, but no recent ED experience.

· ED patient care technician

Casualties

Keep in mind that these patients must have equitable access to care.

Mayor: Minor lacerations, alert and oriented, demanding attention and priority care

Homeless person: Traumatic amputation of a limb, hemorrhaging profusely, alert and oriented

Mother-in-law/family member: You have had personal issues with this person recently; open fracture of right femur, bleeding under control, leg tourniquet, no femoral pulse.

Immigrant: Recently found to be undocumented; language barrier; yelling for his family; daughter trapped under a collapsed bridge; small laceration on right arm; no bleeding.

· Older person: 90-years old, confused and combative; no visible injuries

Mother: 6-months pregnant, no fetal heart tones, mother has no pulse and is unresponsive.

Activity

As the nurse manager you are responsible for assigning your staff to help with traffic control, casualty assessment and triage. You need to determine how your team should prioritize the incoming casualties.

As a nurse overseeing the triage, assign a triage level for each casualty. Use the triage labeling system:

· Red (immediate): Life-threatening injuries

· Yellow (delayed): Non-life-threatening injuries

· Green (minimal): Minor injuries; walking wounded/stable

· Black (expectant): Near death/diseased

Mayor: Minor lacerations, alert and oriented, demanding attention and priority care

a. Red (immediate):Life-threatening injuries

b. Yellow (delayed): Non-life-threatening injuries

c. Green (minimal): Minor injuries; walking wounded/stable

d. Black (expectant): Near death/diseased

Your answer is c.

The correct answer is b.

Though the influential mayor might have been tempting to help first, there were clearly others with greater immediate needs. No preferential treatment. May ask to help to provide support to the walking wounded.

a. Red (immediate): Life-threatening injuries
b. Yellow (delayed): Non-life-threatening injuries
c. Green (minimal): Minor injuries; walking wounded/stable
d. Black (expectant): Near death/diseased
Your answer is c.

The correct answer is c.

Novice nurse can care for the wound. The experienced nurse would be assigned to more traumatic cases. Staff needs to remain non-judgmental of legal status. Cannot help by providing emotional support to with walking wounded because of the language barrier. Nurse manager needs to ask the technician to call for an interpreter and contact security to attempt to locate family.

Older person: 90 years old, confused and combative; no visible injuries

a. Red (immediate): Life-threatening injuries
b. Yellow (delayed): Non-life-threatening injuries
c. Green (minimal): Minor injuries; walking wounded/stable

May be a head or internal injury. Income does not matter. Nurse needs to remain non-judgmental. Need immediate care. Assign to experienced nurse.

Mother: 6-months pregnant, no fetal heart tones, mother has no pulse and is unresponsive.
a. Red (immediate): Life-threatening injuries
b. Yellow (delayed): Non-life-threatening injuries
c. Green (minimal): Minor injuries; walking wounded/stable
d. Black (expectant): Near death/diseased

Your answer is d.

The correct answer is d.

She is deceased. Other casualties need emergency care.

Based on the triage system, who would you prioritize for care?

a. Immigrant: Recently found to be undocumented; language barrier; yelling for his family daughter trapped under a collapsed bridge; small laceration on right arm; no bleeding.

Feedback: Novice nurse can care for the wound. The experienced nurse would be assigned to more traumatic cases. Staff needs to remain non-judgmental of legal status.

Your answers are c, d and f.

The correct answers are c, d and f.

How might the issues presented here impact future planning for disasters?

Your answer:
This issues will impact by being prepared in case of a disaster. Disaster prevention and preparedness are key to minimizing looses and recovery time. .

Here are some potential takeaways:

· Make sure that the disaster plan is up to date and in a central location for easy access.

· Disaster preparedness and management training should be mandatory, at least annually, for all interprofessional staff hospital-wide.

· The interprofessional staff must know where to locate the disaster manual for policies.

· Mandatory disaster drills should be conducted annually.

1 DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN (DRP) YAIMA THAUREAUX

Capella University

February, 2020

DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN

A DRP plan is a plan that is established to take actions prior to, during & after any occurrence that
may bring disruption to routine activities

The primary objective in a DRP is to restore activities functioning within the shortest time possible.

A DRP covers procedures to be followed during a disaster and after the disaster such as reporting to
personnel, actions taken to recover operations, and conducting activities after a disaster.

A DRP may be perceived as a form of preparation for the end of all activities or worst scenarios
(Wallace & Webber, 2017)

National events like the terrorist attacks of 2001 and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have focused
attention on the need for recovery planning. Citizens who are physically and mentally healthy are
necessary for any community to recover from a disaster. While there are a plethora of resources to
assist state health agencies in planning for response operations, there are few resources available to
plan for recovery operations. Part of the challenge in developing recovery plans is that it can be
difficult to distinguish between response and recovery activities. While they can be similar, the
intent of the two is different. Disaster response is focused on the immediate need to protect human
life and the physical infrastructure from the immediate effects of the disaster. Recovery, on the
other hand, is broader in scope. The goal of recovery is to ensure the economic sustainability of a
community and the long term physical and mental well-being of its citizens, to rebuild and repair
the physical infrastructure, and to implement mitigation activities to reduce the impact of future
disasters. The state health agency has a key role to play in all of these response and recovery
activities. Any disaster, no matter how large or small, disrupts the daily activity of a community.
Initial response activities are necessary to protect citizens and infrastructure, but recovery activities
allow a community to come back from a disaster. At its core, disaster recovery focuses on a return
to order and normalcy within a community following a disaster

SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM RECOVERY

DRP entails accomplishing short & long-term objectives

Short-term recovery & response happen occur simultaneously

Example include: civil education awareness on health & safety risks & environmental assessment

Long-term recovery starts when urgent health & safety demands have been fulfilled & the focus
changes to reconstruction.

Long-term recovery can be a long process, lasting years based on the extent of the disaster.

It is during this period the community has the biggest chance to execute mitigation processes that
can limit the future effect of situations that enhance community risk (Wallace & Webber, 2017)

Disaster recovery includes meeting short- and long-term goals. Short-term recovery and response
occur simultaneously and examples include public education campaigns on health and safety risks
and environmental assessment. Addressing the mental health effects of adisaster may become part
of a long-term recovery process, but is a significant component of an immediate recovery plan. The
urgent environmental impacts of a disaster should also be addressed as soon as possible after an
event. 4 LONG-TERM RECOVERY BEGINS WHEN IMMEDIATE HEALTH AND
SAFETY NEEDS HAVE BEEN MET AND THE FOCUS SHIFTS TO RECONSTRUCTION.
Long-term recovery can be a lengthy process, taking years depending on the severity of the disaster.

9 MITIGATION IS THE EFFORT TO REDUCE LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY BY
LESSENING THE IMPACT OF DISASTERS AND EMERGENCIES. MITIGATION
INVOLVES STRUCTURAL AND NON-STRUCTURAL MEASURES TAKEN TO LIMIT
THE IMPACT OF DISASTERS AND EMERGENCIES. STRUCTURAL MITIGATION
ACTIONS CHANGE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF BUILDINGS OR THE
ENVIRONMENT; EXAMPLES INCLUDE FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS, RAISING
BUILDING ELEVATIONS, AND CLEARING AREAS AROUND STRUCTURES. NON-
STRUCTURAL MITIGATION MOST OFTEN ENTAILS ADOPTING OR CHANGING
BUILDING CODES.

Post-Incident “Organizational Learning”

Post-incident “organizational learning” is achieved through a timely and objective after-action
report process that is designed to capture the positive aspects and the shortcomings of the response
system. Findings should be documented in an outline format that can be organized on a
spreadsheet and tracked. One basic format that has been widely successful is designed to capture,
for each issue, a brief description of the issue, background information, recommendations, and
follow-up actions. Improvements should focus on the EOP organization, processes, and training or
equipment/supply issues, rather than on individual personnel actions. The review should also

examine how effectively each asset integrated into the overall system, as well as how the response
tiers coordinated with each other. Indicated changes should be accomplished based on priority and
incorporated into the appropriate documentation.
