Emergency preparedness case study: The Firemen of 9/11
Purpose: The purpose of this case study is to evaluate the needs of a population in regard to emergency preparedness. Students will apply sound clinical judgment and decision-making skills in evaluating a case study based on a real emergency, evaluating the needs of the affected community and reflecting awareness of the nurse’s role in preparing for and participating in emergencies.
Directions:
(1) Watch the video “The Firemen of 9/11” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UdBKazUeHc) approximately 40 minutes
(2) Reflect upon the following case study prompts:
·What were the needs of the local population during the 9/11 crisis?
·How were those needs addressed by the emergency respondents (police department, fire department, emergency medical system)?
·How might the needs of the population have been addressed in a better way?
·What measures could be taken to better prepare for this type of emergency, should it occur again?
·What is the role of the nurse as part of an interdisciplinary team, to be prepared to handle emergencies of this magnitude?
(3) Write your responses in an APA-formatted, academic paper that discusses the case study and your responses in a logical way. Your paper should reflect sound clinical judgment, critical thinking, and be supported by quality resources (cite your sources!).
