Mock drunk driving crash: an exercise in injury prevention
1Emergency Department, Parkland Memorial Hospital, Dallas, Texas, USA.
Abstract:
Alcohol is a contributing factor in many car crashes around the world (Emergency Nurses Association 1995). Emergency nurses care for the victims of these crashes and are in an ideal position to share their experience with the community. A mock drunk driving crash illustrates the realities and consequences of impaired driving (Huber et al 1995). This event may be staged at secondary schools, universities or elsewhere in the community. Students from the participating agency play the roles of the victims. Police, fire, pre-hospital emergency care personnel and highway traffic patrol are dispatched to the crash scene, where they perform their duties as they would in a real situation. A follow-up session at the hospital or in a classroom provides an opportunity to address the consequences of drunk driving and discuss strategies for prevention.
