INTRODUCTION:
Unexpected events like typhoon, earthquakes, vehicular accidents, drowning, and
choking are only few that people might encounter in their everyday life. Disaster nursing point
out some important intervention on how to handle the situation in times that you encounter an
injured victim or a sudden illness. An immediate care must be done by doing life saving
procedures until appropriate medical help arrives or the victim has been transferred to the
hospital. As a nurse, it is our responsibility to ethically help others to save life and to lessen the
harm.

The CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is a combination of oral resuscitation or “mouth-

mouth breathing”, which supplies oxygen to the lungs, and external cardiac massage or “chest
massage”, which is intended to reestablish cardiac function and blood circulation. It is also
referred as Basic Life Support. This procedure is done if the victim has (-) pulse and (-)
breathing. If the victim has (+) pulse and (-) breathing, The Rescue Breathing is indicated by
covering the patient’s entire mouth with the rescuer’s mouth, pinching the nose of the victim and
giving a full, slow ventilation. The Heimlich maneuver is done for treating those victims who had
Foreign Body Airway Obstruction by doing Abdominal thrusts in sequence. In such cases like
bone fracture and presence of bleeding, the splinting and bandaging is recommended for giving
support to the bone that has been injured and to control the bleeding. Moving and Lifting
procedures are used for transferring the victim to a safer place and also a medium of care for
life threatening condition that requires repositioning. Proper body mechanics must be
considered.

Because of the fact that you can’t control the time and you can’t predict accidents that might
strike you, it is always appropriate to be in focus and remain calm when this situation happens.
F or a certain circumstances like typhoon and earthquakes; Activities like planning, training and
drills are done (PRE-DISASTER). This is also the time that disaster is still developing and has
not yet affects the community. Issuing of warnings, evacuation and resettlement are also
considered during this time. When the Actual disaster is happening; Medical treatment, search
and rescue operation and provision of foods and shelter are implemented (DISASTER). At this
time, Triage must be done to treat first those victims who need immediate attention. It is a
process of sorting out victims based on the severity of their condition so as to treat as many
possible when resources are insufficient. Traumas in the life of the victims are visibly seen after
the damage has been done. Appropriate crisis counseling is important to be considered (POST-
DISASTER).
MOVIE REVIEW:

As a comet is on a collision course with earth, humans have to prepare for

their survival. They randomly select eight hundred thousand people to be
saved in order to keep the human race alive. A teenage astronomer and his
teacher discover an object amongst the stars at night. Little do they know
that it's a comet on a direct collision course for earth. After the teacher dies
in a car crash trying to report his findings the President announces the
comet's existence. He also states that there is no need to panic, because
NASA is going to send astronauts on the space mission, Messiah. Their
mission is to destroy the comet before it gets too close to the earth. When
Messiah backfires, the President announces that special caves will have to be
built, and the government will have to have a lottery-of-fate to randomly
select 800,000 ordinary American citizens to go along with 200,000
scientists, soldiers, and other officials. These 1,000,000 people will be set
aside to save the population from extinction when the comet hits. A comet is
on a course to collide with Earth, and people must cope with the fact that
they will die. The President has devised a plan to keep as many humans alive
as possible. Scientists have built giant caves big enough to hold a million
people, and the government is going to have a lottery to pick 800,000
people to live in the caves along with 200,000 scientists, artists and doctors.
A seven mile-wide asteroid is on the verge of colliding with Earth in a matter
of days. But we are prepared. Think again. Scientists have begun to build
several caves beneath the earth in order to prevent the extinction of the
human race. At random, 800,000 people as well as 200,000 scientists and
doctors are selected to stay in the caves in order to survive the "Deep
Impact."
PRE-DISASTER
The President states a warning that comet might strike the
earth anytime. A planning and preparation has been done. He
announced that there are caves will have to built and only
800,000 citizens may be included. He also states that everyone
should be calm.

DISASTER:
The streets are clogged with traffics. Huge tidal waves are wiping
out the entire cities. Powerful apocalyptic scenes are visible.

POST- DISASTER:
There would be a national lottery for those who will be
chosen. They live underground in a post apocalyptic ark
to repopulate the country after the effects of the comet’s
expected life ending impact subside.
THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD
STILL

The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951) is very much a product of its
generation and yet still very relevant to today's world. Klaatu is, despite being an
alien, very much like a human - in fact you wouldn't know he was an alien at all if
you met him - but Michael Rennie's performance is full of subtle nuances, the
slightly superior attitude when confronted by what to him is earth's primitive
technology, the bemused disbelief at certain attitudes he encounters, etc. Klaatu
particularly forms a friendship with a young boy named Bobby (Billy Gray) and his
mother Helen (Patricia Neal). In Bobby Klaatu sees what humanity could and should
be - innocent and untainted by political intrigues and suspicion. Helen also shows
herself capable of more empathy than most of the people around her - while most
relate wild stories about a fearsome, gigantic alien who should be destroyed for the
safety of earth, Helen actually dares to suggest that maybe it's the alien who's
scared and uncertain of his surroundings.

After a failed attempt to get representatives of all the nations together to hear the
message he's come to earth with, Klaatu turns to the scientific community.
Professor Jacob Barnhardt - looking a little like Einstein put through a tumble dryer -
may be the key, but Klaatu needs to resort to drastic measures first to get his
attention, and then to convince the whole scientific community that he truly is who
he says he is. This demonstration, perhaps predictably, causes even more panic
among earth's inhabitants... Apart from those in the know (since Klaatu has to
escape the authorities to properly examine the people of the planet he's visiting)
Helen's fiancé, Tom Stevens (Hugh Marlowe) is perhaps the only human to be
suspicious of Klaatu - but only because of jealousy. Still, this leads him to pay more
attention to Klaatu (travelling under an assumed, more normal-sounding name, of
course), which could cause problems for the alien later on...

Klaatu seems to be a bit of a paradox at times - he preaches peace but has

enormously destructive technology at his disposal - but the reason for this is
(mostly) adequately explained near the end of the movie. Robert Wise's direction
moves the film at a thoughtful pace, too slow for some maybe but it creates enough
questions in your mind to keep you occupied without lots of action. What I really
hadn't remembered about The Day the Earth Stood Still is that it's very funny -
there are some priceless little gems in the dialogue which you could easily miss if
you weren't paying attention. There's a robot called Gort, who never says anything,
but somehow the way he just stands there motionless almost all of the time is
strangely menacing - and of course when he gets angry, nothing can stop him...

PRE-DISASTER:
The United States government hastily assembles a group of
scientists to formulate a survival plan when it is feared that a
large unknown object is due to impact Manhattan.

DISASTER:
The robot transforms itself to destroy the path back
to Manhattan. Some are being injured by the damage that
has been done by the robot.

POST-DISASTER:
After the robot has been defeated, the city backs to normal
and rebuilding what has been destroyed.

Katherine Pascua

Today is our first day duty for disaster nursing at Maysan road Galleria. I and my
duty mates arrived at the meeting place at exactly 7am in the morning and then we
proceed to our classroom. Ma’am Heizl Gonzaga Orient us about the disaster
nursing duty. That day she explained to us about the requirements for each group
and also for our individual requirement. She also tackled about the grading system
for Disaster Nursing. Move over, she demonstrate to us how to perform the
Bandaging and splinting. After the demonstration, she started the long lecture
about the disaster.

Friday (june 25, 2010) Day 2

This is our second meeting for Disaster Nursing and this day we will perform
Bandaging, Splinting and Moving and Lifting for our return demonstration. Before
the demonstration, she finished first her discussion and demonstration about the
CPR for an adult and for an infant and the Heimlich maneuver.
Friday ( july 2, 2010 ) Day 3

This is the last day of our Disaster nursing duty. This day we will be performing CPR
for our return demonstration. After this, we will have our evaluation exam. After the
exam we perform the mock presentation.

Thursday (June 24, 2010) Day 1

Anna Victoria Socito

Today is the first day of our Disaster Nursing. What’s on my mind is that we’ll able to learn
some procedures that are not frequently encountered on the hospital settings. We met our
professor and she orients us about the rules that must be follow on Disaster nursing. She taught
how to fold bandage and it’s used. She also discussed how to use the splint in the affected part of
the body.

Friday (June 25, 2010) Day 2

Our professor starts the day by discussing the Heimlich maneuver and the CPR. Then we have to
perform the bandaging, splinting, moving and lifting. It was graded by group performance.

Friday (July 2, 2010) Day 3

On this day, we are the second batch to perform the mock presentation. That’s why we went to
the school early for the preparation on the presentation. We also have a return demonstration
about CPR then we have a quiz.

Motto: “If God allowed us to go through life without any obstacles, we would not be strong as
He intended us to be.”

Favorite color: pink

Favorite food: chicken

I love those people who are true to me. I am easily attached to them if they showed me that I am
important and loved.

I hate those people who are liars and snobbish.

My biggest priority in life is my family. They are the reason why I strive hard to finish my
studies. I wanted to give them a good life that they deserved.

When I am down and full of failures, I usually go to church and ask for the divine guidance
coming from god. I know that without him, I am nothing.

When I am at school, I loved the company of my friends. With them, I feel happy.
