ANS: C
The CEPR (under the umbrella of the Public Health Agency of Canada [PHAC]) is responsible for coordinating services required to handle all health risk and security threats in Canada. It provides a comprehensive program to train and certify Health Emergency Response Teams to respond to emergency situations in Canadian communities. Although paramedics play an important role in disaster management, a known director, such as the CEPR, must coordinate the response.

| a. | Dismiss the problem of inability to focus as probably being the result of worry, so that the worker can concentrate on the work at hand and deal with his emotions later. |
| b. | Explain to the relief worker that he is experiencing signs and symptoms of psychological stress and recommend that he take some time off from work to relax. |
| c. | Explain to the worker that his problem arises from multitasking and advise him to focus on one task at a time. |
| d. | Suspect dehydration and encourage the worker to drink more fluids. |
ANS: B
Early symptoms of stress and burnout include minor tremors, nausea, inability to concentrate, difficulty thinking, and problems with memory. Suppressing feelings of guilt, powerlessness, anger, and other signs of stress eventually will lead to more serious symptoms, such as irritability, fatigue, headaches, and distortions of bodily functions. It is normal to experience stress, but it must be treated. The worst thing anyone can do when experiencing stress is to deny that it exists.
