Before responding to the notification, the nurse manager should check if a physician at their hospital has agreed to accept the patient, when the patient is supposed to arrive, and if a bed is available in the appropriate unit to provide care for the patient. The patient's insurance and likelihood of survival are not factors that the nurse manager can or should check before responding to the notification.
