A nurse can have many different responsibilities depending on the type of scenario they are placed in. This is very true when it comes to natural and man-made disaster. One of the jobs is for the nurse to apply medical attention to anyone that needs it. As well as providing any emergency care they need to look for patients that are already in the hospital can be discharged or moved to make room for any new patients. When handling a natural or man-made disaster the nurse is often put in a very difficult situation. While they tend to the needs of patients, they also need to be able to tend to their own. I believe that in the scenario of a natural or man-made disaster with people that are injured if people can help without making the situation worst, they should help. This applies to nurses as they can provide any medical attention that is needed if people are hurt. However, I do believe that the nurse should also making sure that they themselves are being safe and keeping themselves out of harm. When it comes down to it the decision is ultimately very personal to the nurse. if they believe that they can provide adequate care while maintaining the duty to themselves
