do arise in the community/public health arena. These emergencies can take the form of
manmade or natural disasters. Health care professionals have had to increase their
awareness of their duty to care during these situations. The need for planning and
preparing for these possible events is being reinforced (Tomczyk, et al., 2008). Public health
nurses bring specific skills to disaster response. Their roles can range from first responders
to policy developers. Discussion: Crises Health Care ServicesReferenceTomczyk, D., Alvarez,

InstructionsPREPARATIONSuppose you have been invited to participate in a roundtable
discussion meeting on the development of a community response to crises. To prepare for
this discussion, you have been asked to research ways that other communities have
provided health care services during crisis situations, identify best practices, and develop a
nursing response for providing health care services. You would be presenting your research
and nursing response to the roundtable panel during the meeting. Select two communities
that have suffered a crisis of some kind within ten years of each other. For example, you
might choose to look at New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina in comparison to New Jersey
and Hurricane Sandy. You might address the 2011 tornado outbreak and compare the

3. response of Joplin, Missouri with the response of Birmingham, Alabama. Or, you might
choose to look at the responses to volcano eruptions in Hawaii as compared to Washington
State. You are not limited to natural disasters; feel free to explore environmental disasters
and outbreaks of disease. Try to choose the type of crisis situation that could occur within
your own community. Once you have selected your two communities and their comparable
crisis situations, look in the Capella library and on the Internet for scholarly journal articles
on how health care professionals responded to the crises. Discussion: Crises Health Care
ServicesREQUIREMENTSFor this assessment, create a PowerPoint presentation that
examines provision of health care services related to community crises, from a nursing
perspective. In your PowerPoint, address the following: Discussion: Crises Health Care
ServicesCompare the different approaches of two communities for responding to a
community crisis.Explain how the crisis situation in each community affected the overall
health of the community.Describe potential obstacles in your own community to providing
health care services related to community crises.Explain current practices in your own
community for providing health care services related to community crises.Recommend an
evidence-based nursing response for providing health care services related to community
crises.Your nursing response does not need to be overly detailed. In real life, a nursing
response would be the work of a committee or another group, based on the research and
recommendations of others.Your nursing response should provide foundational research
and recommendations based on evidence. Consider things such as triage points,
communication methods, caring for staff, providing basic necessities such as food and
water, use of other organizations for shelter, and so on.Use the Notes section of each
PowerPoint slide to expand your points and provide supporting evidence.ADDITIONAL
REQUIREMENTSComplete your assessment using the following specifications:Include a title
slide and reference slide.Number of slides: 10–15.At least 3 current scholarly or
professional resources.APA format for in-text citations and references.Be creative. Consider
your target audience.Discussion: Crises Health Care Services
