B. Assess patient → Notify provider → Notify nursing supervisor → Document → Incident report
C. Document → Assess patient → Notify provider
D. Complete incident report → Notify supervisor → Assess patient

,notified, followed by documentation and completion of an incident report. This sequence aligns with legal
and institutional standards.
