state that we, as nurses, can improve the roles of nursing by asking questions such as “What is the best evidence for this practice?” or “What are the highest achievable outcomes for the patient, family, and nurse?” (p. 5).

agencies at every level of government (federal-state-local-private-public-nonprofit-civilian) that is why their response rate was a success. To show how organized they were, they quickly turned field stations set up to treat dehydrated runners into triage stations during the crisis (Kettl, 2015).

This showed that the emergency teams had…
