A nurse in the maternity ward of a U.S. hospital has been asked to participate in a humanitarian mission to Haiti. What should the nurse do to support global health objectives in preparation for this mission?

1. Study the culture of Haiti.
2. Pack clothing appropriate for the climate of Haiti.
3. Contact the WHO office of Nursing and Midwifery.
4. Learn some common words and phrase that are used in Haiti.

ESSAYBID ANSWER

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. WHO recognizes the importance of nursing (and midwifery) services to the accomplishment of global health objectives and so maintains a Nursing and Midwifery Office to assist with nursing development throughout the world. This office can provide the nurse with information about the management of nursing and midwifery personnel and nursing and midwifery education. Studying the culture, packing clothing, and learning the language will not necessarily help the nurse support the global health objectives for this humanitarian mission.
