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: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: A client who has an open fracture of the femur should be tagged as emergent. This client requires immediate attention due to the risk of severe bleeding, infection, and potential compromise of the limb. Open fractures are considered a surgical emergency to prevent further tissue damage and complications.
A: An asymmetrical thorax may indicate a chest injury but does not necessarily require immediate intervention compared to an open fracture.
C: Preorbital edema, while concerning, does not pose an immediate life-threatening risk compared to an open fracture.
D: A deep-partial thickness burn on the lower extremities is serious but does not require immediate surgical intervention like an open fracture.
