abstract="BACKGROUND: Disasters require nurses to make decisions. A tabletop exercise, used in disaster education, is a classroom activity for solving problems. <br><br>PURPOSE: The study purposes were to (1) describe, as scores, the transfer of learning from basic medical-surgical coursework to student decisions made during a disaster scenario tabletop exercise and (2) identify students' attitudes about their use of their previous learning during this experience. <br><br>METHOD: Researcher-designed instruments and a tabletop exercise were used to measure prelicensure students' transfer of select basic medical-surgical learning to their decisions during the exercise. <br><br>RESULTS: Mean (SD) student scores during the tabletop exercise were as follows-Tabletop Matrix: infection, 17.61 (6.03); bleeding, 14.93 (5.36); pain, 11.17 (5.08); electrolyte, 13.73 (6.19); disaster knowledge: 19.46 (3.08); and attitudes: 51.41 (5.43). <br><br>CONCLUSION: During this tabletop exercise, students demonstrated transfer of learning.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
