The nurse should remain current on recognition and treatment of infections caused by biological weapons
Step-by-step explanation:
The nurse must be aware of the current details in bioterrorism because the terrorists keep changing the bioagents and the techniques applied to cause a slow, undetectable, potentially dangerous attack against living organisms.
Hence, the CDC provides a ready plan regarding ‘Preparation and Planning for Bioterrorism Emergencies’ and keeps updating all the latest information.
So the nurse and other healthcare providers dealing with bioterrorism should be aware of the various categorizations of these bioagents, how to recognize and identify, various diagnostic techniques and treatment modalities available.
They should utilize the resources like the website, journals, magazines, newsletters etc of the CDC and be updated with the preparation and planning of emergent situations arising due to a bioterrorism attack.
