In the event of a cardiovascular emergency, such as a heart attack or stroke, nurses must act swiftly and efficiently:
1. Rapid Assessment: Quickly identifying the signs and symptoms of an emergency. 2. Immediate Action: Administering emergency medications, initiating cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and using defibrillators if necessary. 3. Coordination: Working closely with the emergency medical team to ensure the patient receives timely and appropriate care. 4. Post-Emergency Care: Providing ongoing care and monitoring to stabilize the patient and prevent further complications.
