Learn how to plan for and respond to disasters! Preparing Nurses
for Disaster Management: A Global Perspective helps you build the
skills you need to prepare for, respond to, and recover from
emergency situations efficiently and effectively. It includes the
personal stories of nurses who have experienced disasters,
describing the specific incident, the response, what worked or
didn't work, and the lessons learned. Case studies show how to
apply international response guidelines in providing care for those
in need. Written by Joanne Langan, an internationally known expert
in disaster preparedness, this reference will help you feel more
confident in handling the aftermath of both natural and man-made
disasters. Coverage of disaster management includes the stages of
disaster response, nursing roles, and personal case studies of
actual disasters and public health emergencies around the world,
e.g., natural disasters, global earthquakes, radiation disasters,
chemical disasters, biologic or infectious disease outbreaks, and
man-made disasters. Actual Disasters unit provides a description of
each event, preparedness, response, recovery, personal preparedness
equipment, legal and ethical issues, special considerations, and
lessons learned. Tabletop exercises and drills allow organizations
and institutions to assess their readiness, determine community
vulnerabilities, and prepare appropriate responses to disaster
events such as an active shooter, cyberattacks, and the grid/power
going down. Case studies help you learn to apply concepts to
practice. User-friendly content includes definitions of key terms
and the role expectations for different nurse specialties and
levels. Discussions of International Council of Nurses' Core
Competencies in Disaster Nursing use this benchmark as an outline
for effective nursing practice before, during, and after disasters.
Reviews of psychiatric/mental health issues discuss interventions
to improve mental health following disasters. Expert contributors
share perspectives and experience from a number of different
countries.
