The primary responsibility of the flight nurse upon arrival at a mass casualty incident is to establish communication with the Incident Commander and to receive a briefing. This ensures that the flight nurse is aware of the situation, understands the chain of command, and can provide effective medical care within the established emergency response framework. Other options, while important, are tasks that would follow initial communications and situational assessment.
