Instructional Design

MDC Nursing Students

    2. Protecting the patients and their relatives.
    3. Protecting the visitors of the hospital.

 

  1. Demonstrate effective teaching of patients and their relatives on what to do when an earthquake occurs in a hospital.

 

Enabling Objectives:

 

Before the start of the MDH Earthquake Drill, the nursing student must be able to:

 

  1. Enumerate six (6) basic components of a comprehensive earthquake preparedness program in a hospital setting.
  2. Enumerate the seven (7) phases of response of people and hospital staff during an actual or simulated earthquake.
  3. Discuss what people and hospital staff should do during the following phases and give a brief explanation of the rationale for the action:
    1. Alarm phase
    2. Response during the shaking
    3. Response right after the shaking
    4. Evacuation phase
    5. Monitoring of confined patients and injured individuals in evacuation areas
    6. Reconstruction phase
    7. Debriefing phase
  4. Explain why instructing and assisting persons who do not know what to do during a drill or an actual earthquake is a task expected of a health professional.
  5. Cite at least two myths or common practices of Filipino people during an earthquake which you think should be corrected.
  6. Cite at least two situations in the hospital settings (not seen in schools and business establishments) which offer a challenge to the physicians and nurses during an earthquake and give recommendations on what to do.
  7. Explain why it is important to have an earthquake preparedness and response plan in each unit (such as laboratory department, nurse’s stations, administrative offices, etc.) of the hospital rather than just having one overall hospital earthquake preparedness and response plan.
  8. Explain why it is advisable to have a drill as part of the educational strategies in an earthquake preparedness program in addition to a lecture and self-reading.
  9. Discuss the advantages or disadvantages (if there are) of having sector or unit coordinators in conducting an earthquake drill in a hospital setting.
  10. Determine the most tangible method of determining whether people have learned from the earthquake drill or not.
