According to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN, 2023), the licensed practical nurse has an integral role in emergency nursing as well as in disaster management. Emergencies and disasters can occur in various settings and locations. After reading chapter 15 address the following. Conduct a search on emergencies and disasters that have occurred recently, or in previous decades: locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. There are numerous events that have occurred over time. From what you have gathered from your research, specify the characteristics of the different disasters locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. Discuss the phases of disaster management that were specific for the disasters you have researched. Were there any identifiable levels of triage based on the disasters/emergencies identified? Place yourself in either of the disasters/emergencies you have researched. With the knowledge you have gained thus far in nursing school and from your personal life experiences, describe how you would be of valuable assistance. Respond to one of your class colleague’s response to item 5.
