During the August surge, where was the applicant redeployed?

• A. EUA Covid Antibody Infusion unit
• B. ICU
• C. Radiology
• D. Pediatrics clinic

Answer: (A)

Staff redeployment during a surge focuses on placing clinicians where their skills can most quickly impact patient care and relieve bottlenecks. An EUA Covid Antibody Infusion unit is designed to administer monoclonal antibody therapies to eligible COVID-19 patients under Emergency Use Authorization, requiring skilled IV infusions and careful monitoring for infusion reactions. This setup directly addresses the surge needs by treating patients early to prevent progression, while keeping inpatient and ICU resources available for those who deteriorate. Compared with ICU, which involves intensive critical care, or Radiology and Pediatrics clinics, which don't align with the immediate surge treatment workflow, the infusion unit best fits the goal of maximizing patient outcomes during the surge.
