1. Introduction:
~Our initial steps when hearing the alarm is to have everyone evacuate the building,We will effectively gather all the patients to calmly evacuate the building. A medical provider will grab the emergency safety bag before evacuation.
~ One medical assistant or nurse will grab an oxygen mask, water, and whatever else they think is relevant for the patient during this time.
2. Identifying Urgent Cases:
~We determine the most urgent priority is making sure all patients evaluate the building safety during the fire alarm because the games and smoke will cause more casualties. The unconscious child will then be attended to.
-Apple: I went to find where the fire was coming from and called the paramedics. I let the paramedics know where the fire is coming from and that there is an unconscious child.
-Banessa: Will use an emergency defibrillator and oxygen tank along with saving the child. Resumes urgent cases in parking lots or somewhere safe, as well as coordinating the police officers to quickly transport the patients to a safe place.
-Emmanuel N: Will stay in the building evacuating patients with disabilities. Prioritizes patients in wheelchairs or with major disabilities. Also, informs well fitted people to escape to the safest exits.
-Emanuel T: Will make sure that Emmanuel is doing the operations in a safe manner. Basically he will be the floor warden, and help keep the place clear of any danger.
-Koree: Transported emergency medical supplies such as defibrillators outside to keep operation of urgent cases.
3. Communicating with Patients:
~The medical Assistant/ receptionist would get on the loudspeaker and announce to everyone to gather their children and belongings because everyone needs to evacuate the building immediately. Tell them the fire has been situated and then health providers need everyone for all safety precautions. In a correct single file line leave the building and wait in the parking lot for further instructions.
~ A healthcare provider will take the unconscious child outside with the rest of everyone. The staff will do a patient review of who is still present. During this process they will describe the child’s appearance and ask the guardian or parent to communicate with us what happened to their child. Once we do an initial assessment with the guardian we tell them what needs to be done for their daughter/son’s safety thoroughly then begin to do chest and breathing compressions on the 30:2. The tone of our voices will be empathetic, clear and confident so that they also feel comfortable and confident in you.
4. Staff Coordination:
~ We will make an announcement about an unconscious child who needs assistance and designate a specific person to call for the paramedics and tell them to come back with the information they were told on the phone.
~ Apple F will call 119 and tell them the situation with the fire and unconscious child.
~ Koree will check if all patients are present and also make notes for why they are coming to the clinic today. At the top of the list are the most urgent people and at the bottom are the least.
~Emmanuel N helps evacuate patients with medical problems and disabilities to the paramedics.
~Emanuel T. and Bannessa R. will assist the unconscious child by taking turns on CPR chest compressions and breathing with a ratio of 30:2
~ It’s important to assign roles and responsibilities in this situation to give effective care to all patients. This may be very triggering for people or frightening, so we must coordinate ourselves to control the crowd that is waiting for us to guide them to safety.
5. Ethical Considerations:
~Some patients may feel that their case is more urgent than others and demand you assist them immediately. You would have to calmly be assertive and explain to this person where they are on the list and everyone will be taken care of, coordinated and fair.
~ Some people may not be able to stand for long periods of time so there will be chairs placed outside while we wait for the fire to be fully resolved.
6. Documentation and Compliance:
~ the importance of documenting each patient according to how urgent there are in order to effectively care for everyone in a timely manner between the time the paramedic comes and the present.
~ every patient needs to listen clearly and be obedient to their names and the directions be called so they can be assisted.
7. Conclusion and Debrief:
~ All the medical providers in the clinic today effectively took actions when prioritizing both the unconscious patient and the building on fire. They did so by assigning roles to each other so that every issue could be addressed or resolved while the paramedics were on the way. All the medical assistants were a great team because they communicated with each and gave updates to the other medical providers. Even though the day was successful, there were many patients that did not want to wait their turn or listen to directions.
8. Assignmènt Submission:
Each participant will write a report detailing their role in the sce-nario, the actions they took, and the outcomes achieved.
- Banessa: I safely proceed to lead the people to a safe area including the child who wasn’t responding. I gave chest compressions until I couldn’t anymore/emergency care arrived.
- Emmanuel N: Coordinated the evacuation of patients, and helped with the transition with the paramedics.
- Emanuel T: Floor warden that secures the safety of every patient.
- Koree:Helped with the transportation of emergency medical supplies.
- Apple: My initial steps when hearing the alarm was to check the building to seeing where the fire was because it could be falsely set off. Once I saw it was a real fire I evacuated the building along with the rest of my colleagues and patient. I made the call to 911 once in was outside and safe. It was a very successful call as the ambulance and fire department arrived quickly, putting out the fire. Although once they arrive to the scene the child was conscious again.
