ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: D
Every school is encouraged to develop an emergency management plan. In fact, many states mandate that schools develop plans to address the potential threat of another terrorist attack or a natural or man-made disaster. It would not be appropriate for the nurse to discuss bravery, student safety should come before bravery. Collaborative problem solving will not help the students be safer should this type of a crisis arise at the school. It is not appropriate to provide the students with reassurance as it is impossible to prevent all of these disasters, rather the school must develop an emergency plan so that they are prepared if this would happen at their school.
