Question 1 of 5
A nurse on a medical-surgical unit is notified that a mass casualty event has occurred in the community. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Call in additional medical-surgical unit nursing care staff. In a mass casualty event, there is a sudden surge of patients requiring immediate medical attention.

This action helps maintain patient safety and quality of care during a crisis.
Incorrect options:
A: Recommending specific acute care clients for discharge is not appropriate during a mass casualty event as all patients may require urgent care.
B: Determining the medical needs of incoming clients through the emergency department may delay the necessary response in a mass casualty situation.
C: Acting as a liaison between the facility and the media is not a priority during a mass casualty event and can divert attention from patient care.
