Provide two substantive responses to two peers with references of 1 appropriate peer-reviewed journal/article(s) appropriate for each response.

Peer 1:
In each phase of a catastrophe, the role of a Community Health Nurse is to offer healthcare and supportive services to the people affected. Community health nurses are able to help individuals prepare for emergencies and develop emergency plans during the preparation phase.

Respond 1 to the Question
You are correct in your statement, community health nursing plays an important part in the preparation for disasters. This includes activities like developing comprehensive emergency planning and educating individual on how best to prepare. Martin et. al. have emphasized this. It is important to include communication strategies with the most vulnerable groups during crisis situations, since they are more susceptible to additional difficulties due to language and cultural barriers. Participating in the planning phase can help ensure that resources from local communities are utilized to their maximum potential when disaster strikes.

Peer 2:
Adult learning theory is composed of five components: Readiness, Experience, Motivation and Problem Solving. The five elements of adult learning theory for instruction are: 1) Readiness; 2) Experience; 3) Motivation; 4) Problem-solving and 5) Self-direction.
Answer 2:
It is correct that you must combine these five factors to make instruction effective for adult learners. Additionally, research has shown that providing feedback throughout lessons has been shown to enhance motivation which can lead increased engagement (Gangloff & Vanderhoofven 2019). Instructors must not only take into account these five factors, but also include feedback in their lessons to help adult learners master the new material.
