B. Public information officer
C. Medical command physician
D. Hospital incident commander
Correct Answer: C. Medical command physician

assessing client needs and calling in specialty-trained providers
during emergencies. Triage officers assign treatment priorities, the
public information officer handles media communication, and the
hospital incident commander manages overall emergency plan
execution.

,A. To manage mass fatalities
B. To provide first aid stations
C. To standardize disaster operations
D. To establish emergency animal care
E. To establish an emergency operations center (EOC)
Correct Answer: C, E
Rationale: HICS standardizes disaster response procedures and
sets up an Emergency Operations Center. Mass fatalities are
handled by DMORTs, first aid by DMATs, and animal care by
NVRTs.
3. A staff nurse is next in line to be assigned a primary client;

client

tandem
C. Assign the client to the staff nurse regardless of the scheduled time
off
D. Assign the client to the nurse who comes after the one leaving for
a long weekend
,Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Primary nursing requires continuity of care. Assigning
the client to a nurse who is about to take time off disrupts that
continuity. The next available nurse ensures ongoing care.

developed sudden autonomic dysreflexia. What is the priority
nursing action?

B. Examine for symptoms of pressure ulcers
C. Monitor blood pressure every 10 to 15 minutes
D. Place in a sitting position

Rationale: The first step in treating autonomic dysreflexia is to
immediately reduce blood pressure by sitting the client upright.
Medications and assessments follow once the client's position is
stabilized.

injuries from a chemical plant explosion. Which client requires
immediate surgical intervention based on priority?
, A. Client with erythema
B. Client with fluid-filled vesicles
C. Client with mild to moderate edema
D. Client with visible thrombosed vessels
Correct Answer: D. Client with visible thrombosed vessels
Rationale: Visible thrombosed vessels indicate full-thickness
(third- to fourth-degree) burns, which require immediate surgical
intervention. The other symptoms are characteristic of less severe
burns not requiring surgery.

individual should communicate with the media?
A. Medical director
