Description

Emergency Nursing: Striving for Best Outcomes in Preparing for Disaster, Mass Casualty Incidents, and Other Emergency Situations In emergency situations the methods of triage can vary depending on the urgent needs of the patient and the event. Although standard hospital triage processes are in place, triaging in the occurrence of disaster and mass casualty incidents (MCI) requires more than the typical methods when casualties and the level of suffering exceeds the capacity of the emergency department and community to respond. When hospital capacity and the means to act are stressed, a systematic plan must be in place with an “all hands-on deck” approach among nurses and hospital staff. This activity will inform the nurse of best practices encompassing disaster, MCI, and the varied circumstances of emergency nursing. Location …………………….………. Nicholls State University Betsy C.
