Common types of drills in nursing include code blue drills, fire drills, disaster preparedness drills, and evacuation drills. Code blue drills focus on cardiac arrest scenarios, teaching nurses how to perform CPR and use defibrillators. Fire drills ensure that nurses know the evacuation routes and procedures in case of a fire. Disaster preparedness drills simulate events like earthquakes or floods, and evacuation drills practice safe and efficient patient evacuation.
