About this title

Synopsis

As our nation becomes more vigil with regard to possible threats on our security, our health care system must become more prepared to handle crisis and disaster on a large scale. Similarly, forces of nature such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and tsunamis demand the preparedness of our health care providers and nurses in particular. Judith Stoner Halpern and Dr. Mary Chaffee have edited an issue of The Nursing Clinics of North America that addresses the changes in nursing practice with regard to homeland security, emergency preparedness, and disaster care. The issue contains articles on a national curriculum in emergencey preparedness for nurses, the impact of the disaster experience on culture, self, and identity, providing pediatric care in a mass casualty incident, and the human factors in a disaster.
