During a mass casualty incident involving a transportation accident, your team is one of the first responding units at the scene. As the lead flight nurse, what is the first action you should take upon arrival?
The first action a lead flight nurse should take upon arriving at the scene of a mass casualty incident is to establish Incident Command. This ensures that there is a clear structure for effectively managing the situation, prioritizing patient care, and allocating resources. Assessing patient triage, contacting medical control, and assigning roles are important but should follow the establishment of Incident Command.
