IV. Outcomes and Planning: Review your chosen community’s emergency evacuation plan or program, specifically with regard to the community nursing
diagnosis you developed and the nursing concerns and needs of the affected population. Complete the following based on your review:
A. Type of Disaster: Based on your review of the community’s emergency preparedness plan or program, as well as community and national
databases, what type of disaster is your community most likely to experience?
B. Mandatory Evacuation: Analyze the nursing care needs of the population affected by the previously identified priority health issue in terms of a
mandatory evacuation following the disaster you identified. Ensure you consider both environmental and epidemiological needs. For example,
what would patients need, at a minimum, to ensure their nursing care needs are met? What supplies, equipment, and/or services might be
necessary to ensure patient safety and survival? What must be considered if these patients have pets or service animals?
C. Agencies of Care: Based on your assessment, identify those community agencies of care (fire department, police, medical professionals, public
health, transportation, etc.) that would be available to assist this population during an evacuation.
D. Meet Needs: Based on your previous identifications, to what extent do you feel the community is able to meet this population’s nursing care
needs during a mandatory evacuation? Be sure to justify your response with evidence and examples.
E. Collaborate: Explain how you will apply nursing theories to effectively collaborate with the previously identified community agencies in meeting
the needs of the community. Be sure to support your claims.
F. Agencies Address Determinants: How do the identified agencies of care in the community help address the previously identified social
determinants of health? Be sure to support your claims.
