During an aerial transport, the helicopter experiences a sudden engine failure, forcing an emergency landing in a remote area. After the landing, what is the first priority for the flight nurse?
The first priority after an emergency landing is to ensure the immediate safety and health of the crew and patient by checking for injuries and providing necessary medical care. While contacting emergency services, using location devices, and assessing supplies are essential, they come after securing the immediate safety of everyone on board. Checking for injuries allows the nurse to determine if anyone needs immediate medical intervention, which is critical in the first moments post-crash.
