Nursing and Emergency Preparedness for Chemical, Biological, and
Radiological Terrorism and Other Hazards Hardcover, 616pp
This book is a collection of the most reliable information currently available about various disasters and public health emergencies resulting from terrorism. It cites numerous case studies and features key messages, learning objectives, study questions, and Internet activities. Mostly scholars, but some practitioners, of nursing and other health care professions, as well as some contributors from political science, terrorism studies, and other fields, offer a foundation for developing best practice in disaster nursing and emergency preparedness, and for further research as the terrorism industry continues to grow and attract funding. They cover disaster preparedness and management; natural and accidental disasters; disasters caused by chemical, biological, and radiological agents; and special topics relating to the nursing profession. The events of September 11th have inspired many new disaster readiness texts, but none has been geared solely toward the largest segment of the healthcare work force: nurses. Editor Veenema (nursing and emergency medicine, Univ. of Rochester) wants to better prepare that work force to respond to any disaster or public health emergency. That mission is to be accomplished through a clear, well-organized presentation of disaster management within multiple nursing contexts such as hospitals, public-health programs, and government agencies. The author deftly covers concepts from public health and medicine but never loses sight of her target audience. She discusses the historical nursing role in disaster planning/ relief and shapes a new and expanded role for the future. Every chapter contains an overview, learning objectives, key messages, study questions, and case studies.
