A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about the role of nurses during a facility disaster. Which of the following statements by the newly licensed nurse indicates an understanding of the teaching?

The correct answer is A because recommending stable clients for discharge during a disaster helps free up resources for more critical patients. This decision can enable the facility to focus on providing care to those in urgent need. Choice B is incorrect because only authorized prescribers can prescribe medications. Choice C is incorrect as communication during a disaster should focus on immediate client care rather than performance improvement. Choice D is incorrect since providing information to the media is typically the role of designated spokespersons.
