摘要
Inhabitants of every region in the world are susceptible to natural disasters, and for the fast several years, the havoc wreaked by hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes on humans has dominated the news. This article presents the special needs of older adults in disaster situations to help nurses meet the challenges associated with serving this vulnerable population.
