What are the Roles and Responsibilities of the Nurse During an Emergency?
During an emergency, a nurse’s responsibilities are crucial. They include:
- Assessment: Quick and accurate assessment of the patient's condition. - Communication: Efficiently communicating with the emergency response team. - Intervention: Initiating immediate life-saving interventions like CPR, controlling bleeding, or administering emergency medications. - Documentation: After the situation is under control, documenting the events, interventions, and the patient's response is essential for legal and medical records.
