In planning for the admission of critically ill clients from the emergency department, which nurses will the charge nurse assign the new clients to when admitted to the unit?

Answer: B
During the admission of injured clients, the charge nurse would assign the new clients to those nurses with advanced assessment, technical, and communication skills. Nurses do need to have good ethics, sufficient risk-reduction knowledge, and appropriate self-care knowledge during emergency responses. However, during the admission of victims, the charge nurse would want the highly competent nurses caring for the new clients.
