NURSING 303 FINAL EXAM REVIEW PREP
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
.what is Reducing Clinical Surge through Public Health and Community
Services? - correct answer- Nurse Triage Line ----- Example:
Minnesota Department of Health
Decrease public confusion by providing accurate information—
consistent messaging, and assistance, including use of antiviral
medications;
Decrease the spread of disease by reducing the volume of sick
individuals gathering in health care settings;
Reduce medical surge on health care facilities to ensure that other
priority medical needs would continue to be met; and
Meet the needs of uninsured or underinsured patients and those
without easy access to health care.
Medical Needs Shelters, Alternative Care Sites, and Extended Treatment
Areas
sites that are designed to handle surge capacity when hospitals and
emergency departments are inundated.
Example: Superstorm Sandy emphasized that dedicated medical needs
shelters were imperative.
Hospitals faced an onslaught of patients who simply needed an outlet to
plug in medical equipment or to obtain oxygen support.
General population shelters were not properly staffed to assist those
whose medical needs required some clinical oversight, but were not
acutely ill and warranted hospitalization.
,Alternative Care Sites and Extended Treatment Areas
An alternative care site is a community-based location that is owned or
operated by an entity other than the health care facility to which lower
acuity health care patients may be directed for treatment.
They are community-based sites—such as a school or community center
—converted to provide patient care during a medical surge.
Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) volunteers staffed the alternative care
sites.
Extended treatment areas are similar in intent—to siphon
nonemergency patients away from the emergency department.
For example, they can be located in tents constructed in the parking lot
belonging to a hospital or in mobile vans, rehab hospitals, or triage sites
set up by e
On the Health Pyramid, What is the biggest impact? - correct answer-
ocioeconomic factors: poverty, education, housing, inequality
On the Health Pyramid, What is the smallest impact? - correct answer-
Counseling & education: eat healthy, be physically active
True or False, the joint commission is standard for healthcare
organization disaster planning and disaster drill evaluation - correct
answer- True
What are Alternative Care Sites and Extended Treatment Areas? -
correct answer- Both extended treatment areas and alternate care
,sites are scalable in size for the numbers of beds, medical supplies, and
equipment needed.
They can be adjusted based on available resources or the nature of the
medical surge emergency.
staffing of these alternate sites is also a key issue
hospitals are not expected to staff them
potential sources of staff can include the MRC volunteers, Emergency
System for Advance Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals
(ESAR-VHP), and volunteers with the Red Cross and other private
philanthropic organizations.
ensuring the staff members recruited to work are trained appropriately
has also proven challenging.
Example:During Superstorm Sandy, many nurses in the MRC turned out
to be school-based nurses who needed training to take care of a
common patient presentation, such as a diabetic patient who needed
wound care.
In the case of New Jersey, the state assumed responsibility for their
training, but this is not always the case across the country

whether the program is meeting its purpose
´Should answer:
´Are the needs for which the program was designed being met?
´Are the problems it was designed to solve being solved?
