Nurses should have survival plans and kits for which areas?

• A. Work, family, and evacuation
• B. Work only
• C. Family only
• D. School only

Answer: (A)

Disaster readiness for nurses requires planning that spans both the workplace and home, so care can continue even when normal systems are disrupted. Having survival plans and kits for work helps you secure yourself, maintain essential functions, and support colleagues during a crisis. Having plans and kits for your family at home ensures loved ones are cared for and reduces personal stress that could interfere with work. Having an evacuation plan and kit equips you to leave safely and quickly if conditions warrant, keeping you available to assist others when needed. Addressing all three areas creates overall readiness and resilience; focusing on just one area risks being unprepared in others.
