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?

A. Recommending clients for discharge may be premature and disrupt ongoing care, potentially worsening the situation if those clients require immediate care. B. While determining the medical needs of incoming clients through the emergency department is important, the immediate priority is ensuring sufficient staffing for the current medical needs. C. Acting as a liaison between the facility and the media is an important role, but it is not the nurse's primary responsibility during a mass casualty event. The nurse should focus on direct patient care. D. Calling in additional nursing staff ensures the facility has adequate personnel to care for the incoming patients, especially given the likely influx of critically ill or injured clients.
