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: A client who has an asymmetrical thorax. This client should be tagged as emergent because an asymmetrical thorax could indicate a tension pneumothorax, a life-threatening condition that requires immediate intervention to prevent respiratory compromise and potential cardiac arrest. The other choices are incorrect because:
B) an open fracture of the femur is serious but not immediately life-threatening,
C) preorbital edema is typically not a sign of an immediate life-threatening condition, and
D) a deep-partial thickness burn on the lower extremities, while serious, is not as immediately life-threatening as a potential tension pneumothorax.
