Disaster management cycle

Most commonly reported infection during the post-disaster period is:

• Acute gastroenteritis

• Leptospirosis

• Hay fever

• Dengue fever

Nodal centre in Disaster management

• PHC

• CHC

• SUB CENTRE

• District hospital

What was the vaccine recommended by the WHO for Mass vaccination Programme post Gujarat earthquake in the year 2001?

• typhoid vaccine

• cholera vaccine

• Td vaccine

Triage category that is correctly matched:

• Red - deceased or dead

• Black - minor injuries

• yellow - stable patient, needs observation

• green - immediate resuscitation

Vitamin A deficiency is the most commonly observed micronutrient deficiency during the post disaster phase. Why is it so?

• VITAMIN A deficient relief diets

• measles

• acute gastroenteritis

• all of the above

What is the first step observed in mass casualties?

• search, rescue and first aid

• tagging of patients

• triage

• identification of the dead

Arrange the sequence of disaster management cycle:

• Disaster impact - response - rehabilitation - mitigation

• disaster mitigation - impact - response - rehabilitation

• disaster impact -rehabilitation - response -mitigation

• disaster impact - response - mitigation - rehabilitation

Not a hydrological hazard

• Tsunami

• flood

• wave action

• avalanche

Reverse triaging is followed in:

• Warzone

• Floods

• Trainwreck

• bus accident

Identify the false statement:

• triage consists of rapidly classifying the injuries on the basis of likelihood of survival

• Triage yields the best results when it is carried out at the site of disaster

• triage commonly uses the tricolor code system

• first come first serve basis is not followed in emergencies
