Correct answers: 1, 2 and 4.

Brief explanations:
- They may need to work longer hours — professionalism means being reliable, committed and able to maintain safe, competent care during extended shifts.
- They may need to work in a different department — disasters require flexibility and teamwork; professionals adapt to new roles while maintaining standards.
- They may help calm victims who are in shock — staying calm, composed and compassionate is essential for patient safety and psychological first aid.

Option 3 (show colleagues how to access statistical data) is more a specific technical/IT task; while being cooperative and helpful is part of professionalism, this item is not a core reason why professionalism is important in disaster response.
