Title: A nurse sees a patient get struck by lightning during a thunder storm on a golf Post by: colleen on Jan 19, 2013 A nurse sees a patient get struck by lightning during a thunder storm on a golf course. What should be the FIRST action by the nurse?
1. Check breathing and circulation. 2. Look for entrance and exit wounds. 3. Cover the patient to prevent heat loss. 4. Move the patient indoors to a dry place. 5. Get the patient up off the ground.

Respiratory and cardiac status should be assessed immediately to determine if CPR is necessary. All other actions are secondary
