Introduction

Roles of a nurse

According to Olsson & Gullberg (2019), everyone associated with disaster plans should be trained and drill regularly. It will help to know who is in charge. Communication is vital. The staff are given radios to communicate if needed. There should be bilingual staff available to provide quality healthcare for non-English speakers (Cole, 2005). It's impossible to anticipate all emergency supplies, but having the essentials ought to be a priority. Nurses should be better prepared for disasters by focusing on practice, education, policy review, and research. There should be practice drills and competency education. Nurses must review policies to understand priorities and procedures better. Research is also be done to identify knowledge or skill gaps and the resources required to fill them. During recovery, nurses can help the community (Slepski, 2007). They can rely on local leaders to restore the area's functionality. Nurses can also help by assessing the disaster's impact on people's lives and helping to modify the plan as needed.

Additionally, a nurse is responsible for record-keeping. Appropriate record-keeping is mentioned to maintain records for historical purposes, recover costs, ascertain insurance requirements, and evaluate for future use and possible strategy changes. There was no documentation on how it was accomplished(Olsson & Gullberg, 2018). Backup plans for response and management are mentioned, but no information about the program involves.

Management of the disaster within the professional role

According to Loos (2019), most personal data is comparable to the state's disaster plan. Impairments, hearing or vision impairments, children, and pets must all be considered. The state disaster plan is enabled, as is the four-phase mass casualty response.
