During a critical patient transport in a helicopter, your team's lead nurse falls ill, and you must now take over their duties. Which initial action demonstrates effective crew resource management?
Start performing all of the lead nurse's tasks independently to keep things moving quickly.
Focus on patient care and let the pilot manage the situation.
Communicate the change in roles to the team and assign specific duties to crew members.
Wait until you land and let the ground medical team handle the situation.
Effectively stepping into a leadership role and assigning specific duties ensures that the team stays organized and focused. It is important to immediately communicate the change in roles to avoid confusion and ensure all team members are aware of their responsibilities. Simply taking over tasks without communicating with the crew can lead to disorganization and missed steps.
