Ensure that the immediate clinical needs of the patient are being met

Excellent first choice.

In this case, the patient is in the ICU and she is receiving care but when managing an adverse event, the first thing you want to do is ensure that the clinical needs of the involved patient are taken care of (in RESPOND this is the Resuscitate/React step).

Make sure that the immediate environment is safe
Secure any equipment that may possibly have contributed to the events that occurred
Provide initial support to the patient/family and to providers involved in her care
Acknowledge the event to the patient and family
Inform supervisors and physicians regarding the event and submit a safety report
Mitigate the risk to other patients not in the immediate vicinity
Notify the director of the surgical residency training program
Call CMPA/CNPA
Call communications lead to prepare immediate press release
