During a flight transport mission, the crew experiences a sudden loss of radio communication with ground control. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first to re-establish communication?
Switch to a secondary frequency or backup radio system
Return to the last known area of coverage
Use hand signals to communicate with the pilot
Wait and attempt to re-establish communication after a few minutes
The correct answer is to try switching to a secondary frequency or backup radio system. This is because there may be interference or an issue with the primary channel, and using an alternative frequency or system can quickly restore communication. Checking if the radio is properly connected and functional is also essential, but if the original loss was sudden and unexpected, trying different frequencies first is more efficient. Returning to the last known area of coverage may take too much time and may not be feasible during critical transport operations.
