NURS 47100

Nursing Care in Domestic and Global Disasters

This course prepares nurses to function clinically on a beginning level as a disaster team member. The focus is on triage of patients and leadership skills needed when social, health care and protective services have been disrupted due to natural or man-made disasters, including fires, earthquakes, floods, civil violence, and bioterrorism. Ethical and legal challenges to the scope of nursing practice are considered from the first responder’s perspective.
