1. Don't panic. Panic clouds thinking and causes mistakes. When I was an intern and learning what to do when confronted with an unresponsive patient, a wiseresident advised me when entering a "code blue" situation to always "take my own pulse first." In other words, I needed to calm myself before attempting to intervene. It's far easier to do this when you know what you're doing, but even if you encounter a situation for which you're unprepared, there's usually some good you can do. Focus on that rather than on allowing yourself an unhelpful emotional response. You can let yourself feel whatever you need to feel later when you're no longer needed.
