Flood disaster preparedness: a retrospect from Grand Forks, North Dakota.

Natural disasters often come without warning. The clinical, financial, and business risks can be enormous. Grand Forks' (ND) healthcare systems experienced a flooding disaster of unprecedented proportions in April of 1997. Planned and practiced disaster and evacuation procedures can significantly reduce a healthcare facilities' risk to life, health, and safety. This article retrospectively analyzes disaster preparation and the complete evacuation of the facilities' patients.

Projective assessment of personal space among retarded and nonretarded children.

A figure-placement method was used to examine the personal space usage of 60 mildly retarded and 60 nonretarded children of comparable MA. Spatial distance between a self-figure and second figure for both groups was least when the second figure was designated with positive affect, greater when designated with neutral affect, and greatest when the designation involved negative affect. Retarded children used less spatial distance than nonretarded children when the interaction involved a self and teacher figure, supporting Zigler's (1973) positive- and negative-reaction tendency formulation. More space was used by both groups when the second figure was designated as not smart than when designated as smart.

Reflection-impulsivity and reading recognition ability among mildly retarded children.

The Matching Familiar Figures test of reflection-impulsivity and a test of reading recognition ability (Standard Reading Inventory) were administered to 236 youngsters (ages 8 to 17 years) who were in programs for educable mentally retarded students. Age was, of course, associated with reading recognition, but there was no relationship between Matching Familiar Figures and Standard Reading Inventory scores with age and IQ controlled. This finding casts doubt on the association of reflection-impulsivity as defined by performance on the Matching Familiar Figures test and the ability of retarded children to decode words.
