Question 1 of 5
A nurse in the emergency department is performing triage for a group of clients who were in a train crash. Which of the following clients should the nurse tag as emergent?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. An asymmetrical thorax indicates a potential tension pneumothorax, a life-threatening condition that requires immediate intervention to prevent respiratory compromise. The other choices, while also serious, do not pose an immediate threat to life. B: An open fracture of the femur requires urgent attention but is not immediately life-threatening. C: Preorbital edema and D: deep-partial thickness burn, though concerning, do not require emergent tagging in the triage process. Tagging the client with an asymmetrical thorax as emergent ensures prompt evaluation and treatment to prevent further deterioration.
