NRS 428 Teaching Experience Reflection

A nursing intervention related to the Haiti earthquake for primary prevention would be making sure that each medical facility in the area is equipped with enough of a backup of supplies to last 3 days before more supplies can reach them in the event of a natural disaster.  This could also be knowing how to use equipment that a nurse is not used to just in case they have to use an older model of medical equipment. This is a primary example because this would be done before there is a natural disaster, it is planning in the event one happens (Falkner, 2018). This would include the community health nurses, global organizations that help with healthcare, as well as hospitals. An example of secondary prevention would be having a designated team to triage the incoming patients. This could be in a green, yellow, red, and black category based on severity. This is a secondary example because this would happen right after the event took place (Falkner, 2018). This would include the nurses or healthcare teams that were chosen and have training on this kind of triage. Tertiary prevention for this earthquake could be hosting counseling sessions for PTSD victims of the earthquake, or rehabilitation services. This is a tertiary prevention because it happens after the event and it is helping to rebuild the health of the people effected (Falkner, 2018). This would involve therapists, and rehab nurses and doctors to help these people.

What kind of primary prevention have you witnessed at your place of employment?
