Exercise 4

A nurse is working at a day camp for church leaders when a sudden severe thunderstorm occurs. Several adults participating in outdoor activities appear to have been hit by lightning. The nurse arrives on scene and finds four injured people. One person appears to be unconscious, one has ferning marks and burns on his skin, and the other two are sitting up against the wall of a building and reporting severe weakness of their lower extremities.
What direction should the nurse give the large crowd of campers and camp staff?
