This scientific paper focuses on the importance of health care during a pandemic or epidemic. The response to a
pandemic involves the evaluation and treatment of affected patients, the implementation of preventive measures, and monitor
ing the evolution of the disease. In the field of nursing, the importance of nurses is highlighted in all stages of the response to
a pandemic or epidemic. They play a crucial role in patient evaluation and triage, direct care of the infected, infection prevention,
public education, interprofessional collaboration, resource management, and epidemiological surveillance. Furthermore, this
article presents an approach based on neutrosophic sets in multi-criteria decision-making for triage selection in the nursing
field during pandemics or epidemics. The COPRAS method is used to evaluate alternatives based on clinical nursing criteria.
The results are used to determine the priority of the alternatives in terms of triage. The article emphasizes the importance of
this methodology in decision-making in the field of nursing during pandemic or epidemic situations.
