Case Report:
David is employed as a staff nurse at a 300-bed tertiary care facility in uptown
New Orleans. The hospital’s staffing solution for its hurricane response plan was the
creation of a three (3) tier nursing response team. The nurses assigned to tiers 1 and 2
were considered essential and would be expected to report to the hospital to provide
patient care during the hours before (usually 24 hours), during, and after (usually 12
hours) the hurricane’s arrival and departure. During this time, the hospital would go into
a “lock-in” mode where no employee was allowed to enter or leave the premises
regardless of their shift assignment. Once the “lock-in” phase of the hurricane plan has
ended, it is the responsibility of the members on tier 3 to provide a recovery and relief
period for those persons on tiers 1 and 2.
David and his wife are preparing to evacuate New Orleans for Hurricane Katrina.
He receives a phone call from a friend who is a tier 1 member requesting that David
stop by the pharmacy, pick up some toiletries, and drop them off on his way out of town.
David arrives at the hospital and is greeted with the news that the first mandatory
evacuation call has caused a mass exodus from the city and over 75% of the members
of tiers 1 and 2 are evacuating the city. David’s wife is an insulin dependent diabetic
who is on a strict dietary, medication, and exercise regime. As a result, David has never
accepted a position that would designate him as essential personnel. David has,
however, never failed to report to work as a tier 3 relief member. The nursing
administrator pleads with David to stay and assist and is assured that he and his wife
will have suitable lodging and that her medical and dietary needs will be attended to
accordingly.
There are more than 2000 employees, family members, and pets sheltered in the
hospital. Eight hours post Katrina, there is only essential electricity and water and food
has begun to be rationed. There will be no tier 3 nursing personnel relief because
entrance into the city has been halted as a result of the devastation. David has just
completed a 12-hour shift tour when his wife informed him that her blood glucose is 276.
Unknown to David, her diabetic meals have been altered as a result of food and water
rationing. In addition, the diversion of electricity has left her insulin in an uncontrolled
environment. David locates the nursing administrator and gives notification that he is
leaving due to his wife’s condition. David is informed that if his wife’s condition worsens
she will be cared for, but leaving the hospital at this time will constitute job abandonment
and will be reported to the Louisiana State Board of Nursing.
Introduction
Hurricane Katrina, a large and extremely powerful hurricane leaves a historic
mark on the Northern Gulf Coast which caused enormous destruction and significant
loss of life. Hurricane Katrina is the costliest hurricane to ever hit the United States and
is considered to be one of the five deadliest hurricanes to ever strike in the U.S. leaving
1,833 fatalities and approximately $108 billion of damage. This was a storm that
captivated the public and media with most coverage occurring in the New Orleans area.
Considering the scope of its impacts, Katrina was one of the most devastating natural
disasters in United States history. A fulcrum of viable questions and concerns were
aroused by images of stranded, desperate, dying, and dead citizens. The justification of
physician-propagated euthanasia for the sick and elderly, as well as medical genocide
of hospitalized patients, was sustained by perceptions of despair and imminent doom.
The greater New Orleans Metropolitan area comprises eight parishes namely
Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. John, St. James, and St.
Tammany. According to the U.S Census Bureau (2020), New Orleans is the largest city
in Louisiana housing approximately 383,997 residents but during the pre-Katrina
incident, New Orleans had approximately 500,000 residents living in a 500 square mile
radius. New Orleans is located in a somewhat peninsular location with a waterfront on
three sides. The core of the city expands around a curve of the Mississippi River which
lends it the moniker "Crescent City". Lake Pontchartrain links to Lake Borgne, a large
entrance to the Gulf of Mexico, near the Mississippi River. Lakes, marshlands, and
bayous spread in all directions from the city. New Orleans is the third lowest elevation
point in the United States with approximately 50% of the city sitting 1-10 feet below sea
level. The Mississippi River has natural levees, making the region less vulnerable to
hurricanes. Yet, as a result of human intervention, the land is already displaying
symptoms of subsidence. The results of erosion and wetland loss have created an
unstable delta basement.
Meteorology
Due to the surrounding waters, and lakes of the city, adding the fact that its
weather in the New Orleans area is hot, and humid, watersprouts–a tornado over a
body of water, hurricanes, storm surges, and flooding are a common and sometimes
dangerous phenomenon that can happen in the said city. Even with today's flood control
measures, New Orleans' low-lying terrain remains vulnerable to flooding during
hurricanes and/or storms. Levees and floodwalls, according to a research conducted by
the National Academy of Engineering and the National Research Council, no matter
how big or strong, the walls that encircle New Orleans cannot provide perfect protection
against overtopping or failure in catastrophic situations. According to the National
Hurricane Center 2005 statistics, pre-Katrina catastrophic incident, from 1851-2004,
Louisiana state has been striked by 49 hurricanes. One-third of which are categorized
as major, five of which are among the costliest in U.S. history, and 11 are said to be
among the most violent storms to ever make landfall in the United States. Despite these
hurricane trend indicators and a plethora of predictions and theories (Fischetti, 2001)
raised by meteorological experts regarding New Orleans' fate in the event of a direct
attack from a major hurricane, it has become abundantly clear that no one in the
government or industrial communities had satisfactory evacuation and or emergency
plans developed, analyzed, and ready for implementation.
Hurricane Katrina
On August 23, 2005, the tropical depression that became Hurricane Katrina
developed over the Bahamas, and meteorologists were quickly able to warn residents of
the Gulf Coast states that a significant storm was on its way. By August 28, evacuations
had begun throughout the region. That day, the National Weather Service projected that
once the storm hit, "much of the Gulf Coast region will be uninhabitable for weeks…
perhaps longer". New Orleans was at particular risk due to its geographical location.
New Orleans mayor during that time, Mayor Ray Nagin issued the city's first-ever
mandatory evacuation order the day before Katrina struck. He also proclaimed that the
Superdome, a stadium on relatively high ground near downtown, would serve as a "last
resort sanctuary" for individuals unable to flee the city. By evening, over 80% of the
city's population had left. Tens of thousands of people sought shelter at the Superdome,
but tens of thousands more decided to stay at home. The hurricane killed an estimated
1,200 people and caused an estimated $108 billion in property damage, making it the
most expensive storm on record.
Healthcare Demographics
Before Hurricane Katrina happened in 2005, there were roughly 34 acute care
hospitals with a total bed capacity of 5,707 and a workforce of approximately 10,000
licensed nurses in the New Orleans metropolitan region. A major VA medical center, the
largest state-funded health sciences/level 1 trauma center, a regional children's
acute/ambulatory care hospital, and numerous smaller nonprofit and for-profit medical
centers with bed capacity larger than 400 were among these facilities. Within the city, all
of the hospitals that had nursing staff and staff family members were stranded in the
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina that required evacuation. The length of stay in the
hospitals before being evacuated ranged from 48 to 160 hours. All of the hospitals in
New Orleans were eventually closed. Only Touro Infirmary and Children's Hospital were
working at pre-Katrina capacity during that period. Nonetheless, more than half of the
licensed nurses working in these healthcare institutions are contract or per diem agency
staff.
Utilitarianism
A kind of consequentialism known as utilitarianism holds that actions (or
particular categories of actions) should be judged according to their effects.
Because the utilitarian holds that it is conceivable for the right thing to be done
from a bad motive, utilitarianism differs from ethical theories that depend the
rightness or wrongness of an action on the agent's motivation. Utilitarianism,
then, is an ethical philosophy that distinguishes between good and wrong by
emphasizing results. According to this argument, the morally best course of
action is the one that benefits the majority of the population. It also means that,
whether the action is good or bad, as long as the effects or the results are good,
it doesn't matter and it is the right thing to do. Lastly, it is considered an ethical
choice once the action or decision would produce the greatest good for the
greatest number of people. In the case of David, he still reported to his work
knowing that he could provide care to a lot of patients, while leaving his wife
considering her condition, to fulfill his duty.
Abandonment
Abandonment was described as "leaving a nursing assignment without
properly notifying the appropriate personnel" by the Louisiana Board of Nursing
(LSBN). Two things must have occurred for a situation to qualify as patient
abandonment: 1) the nurse must have accepted the assignment, establishing a
nurse-patient relationship; and 2) the nurse must have terminated the
relationship without giving notice to the proper person so that another nurse can
continue to care for the patients. The distinction between patient abandonment
and employee abandonment is the problem that the nursing board faces. While
job abandonment refers to an action when an individual leaves their employment
without giving notice and has no intention of returning, patient abandonment
refers to an action when a healthcare provider incorrectly ends the nurse-patient
relationship. Nurses and leaders need to understand the distinction. To effectively
delegate, leaders need to be familiar with their team members' skills. On the
other hand, nurses must not accept a task that they are unqualified to
accomplish, whether it be because they are worn out or because they are
unfamiliar with the location. If a nurse accepts a job, they have a responsibility to
deliver competent, safe care until they appropriately hand over responsibility to
another licensed provider. It must also be noted that while turning down an
assignment, nurses must do it with objectivity and professionalism.
Case Presentation
A. Outline of Parts
1. In an uptown New Orleans tertiary care institution with 300 beds, David
works as a staff nurse. The hospital's storm reaction strategy included the
formation of a three (3) layer nursing response team.
2. The nurses assigned to tiers 1 and 2 were deemed critical and were
required to report to the hospital to provide patient care in the hours
preceding, during, and following the arrival and departure of the hurricane.
3. At this period, the hospital would adopt a "lock-in" mode, in which no staff,
regardless of shift assignment, was permitted to enter or leave the
grounds. Once the "lock-in" phase of the storm plan has concluded, it is the
obligation of tier 3 members to offer a time of recovery and respite for
those on tiers 1 and 2.
4. David and his wife are planning to evacuate New Orleans in preparation
for Hurricane Katrina. He receives a phone call from a tier 1 member
buddy who requests that David swing by the drugstore, pick up some
toiletries, and drop them over on his way out of town.
5. As David arrives at the hospital, he is informed that the first evacuation
orders call has resulted in a widespread evacuation from the city, with
over 75% of tier 1 and 2 members evacuating.
6. David's wife is a diabetic who requires insulin and follows a strict diet,
medicine, and exercise regimen. As a consequence, David has never
accepted a role in which he would be considered vital staff. David, on the
other hand, has never missed a day of work as a tier 3 relief member.
7. The nursing administrator begs David to remain and help, assuring him
that he and his wife would have enough accommodation and that her
medical and food requirements will be met.
8. The hospital is home to around 2000 staff, family members, and pets. Only
necessary electricity and water are available eight hours post-Katrina, and
food is being rationed. Because of the destruction, entry into the city has
been blocked, hence there will be no tier 3 nursing personnel relief.
9. David had just finished a 12-hour shift when his wife notified him that her
blood glucose level was 276. David was unaware that her diabetes meals
had been adjusted due to food and water shortages. Furthermore, the
loss of power has placed her insulin in an unregulated environment.
10. David finds the nursing administrator and informs her of his impending
departure owing to his wife's illness.
11. David is told that if his wife's condition worsened, she would be cared
for, but that deciding to leave the hospital at this time will be considered
job abandonment and will be reported to the Louisiana State Board of
Nursing.
B. Detected Problems
1. Was David’s decision the most appropriate decision?
● David's decision to leave the hospital in order to attend to his wife's
medical needs may not be the most appropriate thing to do
because he is considered an essential tier 3 relief member and
leaving during a time of crisis could put the hospital's response plan
at risk. Additionally, leaving without proper authorization may be
considered job abandonment and could have legal and professional
consequences for David. The nursing administrator has assured
David that suitable lodging and care will be provided for his wife,
which should alleviate some of his concerns. It may have been
more appropriate for David to communicate his wife's medical
needs to the nursing administrator and work with them to find a
solution that would allow him to attend to his wife's needs while still
fulfilling his responsibilities as an essential member of the hospital's
hurricane response team. David should have discussed his
situation with the nursing administrator and explored alternative
options before making a decision to leave.
2. If placed in the same position, what would your decision have been?
● Leaving a job during a time of crisis, especially in healthcare, is a
serious matter and could have legal and professional
consequences. David should have communicated his concerns
about his wife's health to his supervisors and attempted to find a
solution that would allow him to stay at work while also ensuring his
wife's needs are met. It is also important to note that healthcare
workers have a duty to provide care during times of crisis, and
being a member of a tiered response team means that David has a
responsibility to fulfill his role in the hospital's hurricane response
plan. If possible, he should have tried to fulfill his duties while also
ensuring his wife's safety and well-being. If I were in David's
position, my decision would depend on several factors. Firstly, I
would consider the hospital's response to my situation. If the
nursing administrator can guarantee that my wife's medical and
dietary needs will be attended to and suitable lodging will be
provided, I would be more likely to stay and continue to provide
assistance as a tier 3 relief member. However, if the hospital is
unable to provide the necessary care for my wife and ensure her
safety, I would feel justified in leaving to take care of her. Secondly,
I would weigh the potential consequences of leaving the hospital
against the potential consequences of staying. If leaving the
hospital could result in job abandonment charges and negatively
impact my nursing license, I would consider staying and fulfilling my
obligations as a tier 3 relief member. However, if my wife's health is
at risk and I feel that staying in the hospital could compromise her
safety, I would prioritize her wellbeing over the potential
consequences of leaving. Overall, my decision would prioritize the
health and safety of my loved one while also considering my
professional obligations and the potential consequences of my
actions.
3. Were there any other ethically sound options that David could have
employed?
● Yes, there were other ethically sound options that David could have
employed. One option would have been to notify the nursing
administrator of his wife's condition and ask for permission to bring
her to the hospital so that she could receive appropriate medical
care. Another option would have been to ask for assistance in
finding suitable lodging for his wife that could meet her medical and
dietary needs while he continued to work at the hospital. David
could also have tried to negotiate with the nursing administrator for
a solution that would allow him to attend to his wife's needs while
still fulfilling his duties as a relief member. However, it is important
to note that the situation was complex and there may not have
been a perfect solution. Ultimately, the decision David made was
based on his personal values and priorities, and he had to weigh
the potential consequences of his actions. These options would
have ensured that David fulfilled his job obligations while also
taking care of his wife's medical needs.
Conclusion/Recommendations
In conclusion, being a nurse is more than a job or a profession; when you
selected this route, you decided to help those in need. David's decision is not the best
one, however based on the situation, David's wife's blood glucose level has reached
276, necessitating immediate care. Hence, according to David's decision, as long as he
properly endorsed his job, he has the freedom to decide. But, as nurses, it is our
responsibility to cater to our patients' needs. He might address this topic with the
nursing administration before making a decision.
Indeed, it is quite challenging to choose between your responsibilities as a nurse
and your family. Being a nurse entails adhering to the ethical standards of the nursing
profession, thus having the ability to make important decisions in this situation is
essential. The group can see why David made the choice he did, but if the group had
been in his shoes, the group might have looked into other options first. The group could
have first discussed this issue with the nursing administration and then devised a
strategy that wouldn't jeopardize the health of my patients and my wife. Before making a
decision, a nurse must exhaust all other options. There are a lot of individuals that
depend their life on us, thus assessing all the probable repercussions of our actions is a
requirement in our decision making.
Additionally, David could have utilized alternative methods that were ethically
appropriate. The ICN, which is recognized as the global representative of nursing,
suggests that disaster management plans should prioritize the resilience of nurses,
including their physical and mental well-being. In addition, the ICN suggests that
support should be given to nurses' families and dependents during the recovery phase.
In David's situation, it is crucial to address his wife's health needs urgently, as he cannot
leave the hospital due to his duty. The ICN also advocates for strategies that promote
social justice and equitable access to healthcare and social services, and calls on
governments and disaster management organizations to provide the necessary support
systems to address the health needs of those impacted by disasters. Both patients and
nurses, including their families, should be given equal justice and equity. David has the
right to express his concerns to his colleagues to promote fairness, justice, and equality
within the healthcare team. The Sendai Framework provides guiding principles and
action priorities for disaster risk management that prioritize the protection of individuals
and their health, livelihoods, property, and cultural and environmental assets, while also
safeguarding human rights. Despite disastrous events that may occur within a hospital,
the principle of autonomy should apply to all healthcare workers, including David,
particularly if a relative or significant other is affected. Finally, nurses should work
together with their governments to encourage the planning for responding to the basic
needs of nurses in the event of a disaster, including providing food, water, shelter, and
continued compensation and incentives for their work.
As such, according to the first formal Code of Ethics, Provision 8, The nurse
collaborates with other healthcare providers and the general public to preserve human
rights, develop health diplomacy, and eliminate health inequities. Supporting the idea
that health is a right for every person will allow access to best practice prospects
through discipline-wide collaboration. The capacity of the nurse to work in different
healthcare environments may entail extraordinary cases that demand for ongoing
actions of advocacy and diplomacy. With the case presented, considering that David’s
wife is at home and is needing immediate help concerning her health status, David must
collaborate with other health professionals and have proper endorsement to his
co-worker in the hospital setting regarding the health care plan and progress of patients
affected by the disaster.
Consequently, Provision 5 of the ANA code of ethics (2001) states that “the
nurse owes the same duties to self as to others”. The ANA also acknowledges that the
nurse’s professional and individual lives are intertwined and that commitment to self is
in itself symbolic of the fullness of character. Regarding David’s position, he knows that
he has a duty to help and give supervision to his wife who is an insulin dependent
diabetic and while in the hospital, he was informed that her wife’s blood glucose is 276.
With this, he needs to leave the hospital premises to be of service to her sick wife. The
worth, and hence the initiation and advancement of disciplinary action of each request
are examined on a case-by-case rationale. Yet, there is no priority for consequences
that will put David and or his family in imminent danger. Without an accurate evaluative
tool to conduct the investigatory approach, findings acquired must sustain all competing
viewpoints and must accordingly be valid and reasonable.
Moreover, the nursing staff members from Tiers 1 and 2 who failed to report for
duty should not be reprimanded. Although the Louisiana State Board of Nursing (LSBN)
and American Nurses Association (ANA) have a declaratory statement regarding the
deployment of Louisiana nurses to disaster areas as well as endorsements of outside
nurses that volunteer to work in Louisiana post-disaster, Provision 5 of the ANA code
of ethics (2001) states that “the nurse owes the same duties to self as to others”.
Alongside this, nurses also have the professional right to refuse any patient assignment
if doing so would put them at a significant danger of harm due to their responsibilities as
both professionals and citizens. According to La RS 29:735.5, a Louisiana statute, a
healthcare provider who provides services during a disaster is not liable for their actions
or inaction. Only if there was a malicious intent, will they be held accountable. The tier 1
and tier 2 team members who were unable to report for their shift in this case scenario
had no malicious intent. They were otherwise a part of the public that was forcibly
evacuated in order to protect themselves.
Recommendations
In the hypothetical situation, Nurse David and his wife were trapped in a hospital
that was unable to meet their basic needs, along with the other nurses and their
families. When they report to work during a storm or other disaster, nurses are advised
to make early plans and put in place measures to address their personal requirements.
A nurse must have enough food and drink to last for at least five days, as well as
comfortable, insulated clothing, flashlights, personal toiletry items, and a five- to
seven-day supply of prescription medication. The hospital itself must offer a safe
storage space for these patient belongings with no chance of loss. With the help of this
provision, employees would feel more secure, less alone, and more inclined to report
emergencies.
In light of this, to create a safe working environment for nurses, ensure enough
staffing levels, and provide physical and mental health support services for prolonged
crisis events, hospitals and other companies that employ nurses, nurse leaders,
doctors, and others should be held accountable. Hospital managers, nursing
executives, and medical executives must be held accountable for policies that ensure a
safe working environment for nurses during crisis response. Planning for hospital
disasters must consider adjustments in clinical duties and nurse staffing to fulfill
demand, as well as identify alternate nurse staffing choices to aid in the response.

As front liners who help people when something bad happen, nurses need to
be ready to help in the best way possible. Therefore, nurses' disaster management
abilities need to be evaluated to determine how well-equipped and prepared they
are. Continuous nursing education is strongly linked to nurses learning more, getting
better at their jobs, and being better prepared for emergencies. This lowers the death
rate and improves the level of care. Nurses are the most prevalent healthcare
professionals who work directly with disaster victims. They play a huge role of
alleviating the effects of disasters. Hence, they need to enhance their knowledge,
skills, and habits by going to classes on how to prepare for disasters or by continuing
to learn. There aren't sufficient programs to keep nurses prepared to handle
emergencies and tragedies, and there aren't sufficient of them. Nurses can also
provide health education like a teaching for crisis preparation can save and improve
lives during and after an emergency. A nurse in a disaster zone or a dangerous area
needs to pay attention to the different things that need to be done to make sure that
the disaster reaction is done right, safely, and on time. Communication is
fundamental to maintaining a good operation when an adverse event happens. But
the Philippines government has made progress in making people more aware of the
sudden effects disasters can have on people, communities, and the economy. It has
done this by including natural hazard risks in its initiatives, expanding institutions,
and implementing projects such as early warning systems, more accurate weather
forecasting, and more powerful disaster response. This can be used by the academe
or clinical instructors as an additional reference when they teach and discuss to
student nurses about disaster preparedness and triage decision-making. This study's
findings can serve as a foundation or framework for assessing the degree of
knowledge and preparation of nurses in the case of epidemics and pandemics,
which is another area of nursing research that is made more important by the
occurrence of new illnesses like coronavirus disease. Furthermore, this research
might serve as a starting point for future researchers interested in triage decision-
making and disaster preparedness knowledge.
In conclusion, the ability to make decisions on triage is a vital skill for emergency
nurses to possess during disasters of any kind. Triage is an efficient method for
prioritizing victims of the catastrophe. Due to the relationship between knowledge of
disaster readiness and the ability to make decisions about triage, it has been shown
that emergency nurses that possess an increased level of competence in this area
have a greater degree of disaster preparedness. There is a link between
preparedness knowledge and factors such as having had training in disaster
preparedness, the training organization, having previous experience of participation
in disasters, location, and age. It has been suggested that this problem can be
solved in two distinct ways: first, by providing regular disaster-related training for
nurses so that they can continue to work as volunteers in a variety of different
disaster conditions; and second, by disseminating accurate disaster-related
information through conferences, flyers, posters, practice and maneuver, brochures,
seminars, and other forms of media. Therefore, it is advised that hospital
administrators, emergency medical services administrators, and associations of
professionals understand the significance of disaster preparedness knowledge, and
that these organizations provide emergency nurses with disaster preparedness
training programs, taking into account the nurses' ages and locations, so that the
nurses can acquire more information regarding this topic.

sleep accessory, easily transforming from a compact pillow into a cozy blanket when
needed. It provides comfort and warmth during sleep or emergency situations.The
product incorporates visuals to assist individuals in performing CPR during emergency
situations. The pillow-blanket assists in positioning the victim correctly and provides
guidance for each CPR maneuver. Furthermore, it features a flap that covers the
victim's chest, ensuring the responder places their hands correctly for effective chest
compressions. It includes the following:
■ CPR guide and Instructions — It has a visual guide on how to perform
CPR effectively which is integrated into the convertible Pillow-Blanket. It
outlines the correct technique, compression depth, and rescue breaths.
The instructions may be accompanied by illustrations or diagrams for
clarity. The convertible Pillow-Blanket also contains emergency contact
information.
■ CPR Kit — The convertible Pillow-Blanket contains a compact CPR kit
with essential tools for performing CPR. The kit includes items such as
gloves, a CPR mask or face shield, and antiseptic wipes. These items
ensure the safety and hygiene of the rescuer during CPR procedures.
Includes:
○ CPR mask or face shield – A CPR mask or face shield is a device
that covers the responder's mouth and nose and has a one-way
valve. It is used during rescue breaths to create a barrier and
prevent direct contact with the victim's mouth, reducing the risk of
disease transmission.
○ Gloves – Gloves are an essential component of a CPR kit. They
are used to protect the responder's hands and provide a barrier
between the responder and the victim's bodily fluids, reducing the
risk of infection or contamination.
○ Alcohol pads or Antiseptic Wipes: – are used to clean the
responder's hands before and after administering CPR. They help
maintain hygiene and reduce the risk of infection.
○ Scissors – included in a CPR kit to quickly and safely cut through
clothing or fabric, allowing easy access to the victim's chest area for
CPR compressions.
○ Pulse Oximeter – To measure the oxygen saturation level in a

help responders determine the effectiveness of CPR and guide
decisions regarding the need for supplemental oxygen or other
interventions.
○ Pen light – A penlight can be used to assess the responsiveness
of a victim by checking their pupillary response. It can also be
helpful in assessing the airway for potential obstructions. During
emergency situations, lighting conditions may be less than optimal.
A penlight can provide additional illumination, allowing the
responder to better visualize the victim's condition, assess injuries,
or locate important landmarks for proper CPR positioning.
○ Tape – To secure bandages and dressings to skin.
○ Adhesive bandages – are included for minor wound care. In some
cases, the responder may encounter injuries or abrasions while
providing CPR, and these items can help address those minor
wounds.
○ Neck collar – to prevent the neck and spinal cord from moving too
much and to restrict neck and head mobility.
