Question 3 of 5
a first response team isworking at the location of a bombing incident. a nurse triaging a group of clients should give treatment priority to which of the following clients.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: a client who is ambulatory and exhibits manic behavior. In a triage situation, priority should be given to clients who have the highest risk of deterioration or immediate life-threatening conditions. In this scenario, a client exhibiting manic behavior may be a sign of an underlying medical or psychological emergency that requires immediate attention to prevent harm to themselves or others. This client may be at risk of causing harm or disrupting the triage process, making it necessary to address their condition promptly. Clients with superficial burns, femur fractures with a pedal pulse, or rigid abdomen with shock manifestations are important to assess and treat, but they do not present an immediate threat to themselves or others like a client exhibiting manic behavior.
