During a routine internal audit, it is discovered that multiple patients have experienced hypothermia during helicopter transport. As the flight nurse, what is the most appropriate initial action to address this quality concern?
Initiate a root cause analysis with the transport team.
Replace all the blankets on the aircraft.
Report the incidents to the hospital administration.
Educate the team on the importance of patient warming.
Initiating a root cause analysis with the transport team is the most appropriate initial action. This systematic approach helps identify underlying issues contributing to the hypothermia incidents, allowing for effective interventions. Reporting the incidents to administration is important but does not directly resolve the issue. Replacing blankets or educating the team may be necessary steps later, but without understanding the root cause, these actions may not prevent future occurrences.
