Asking management for the use of a private room to debrief is the best choice as it provides a safe and confidential environment for the nurses to discuss their emotions and experiences during the code blue situation. Discussing the event outside the hospital or while riding in the staff elevator may compromise confidentiality and may not provide a suitable environment for debriefing. Debriefing at home may not be appropriate as it could affect the nurses' abilities to maintain a work-life balance and cope with stress.
