Question 1 of 5
A nurse is triaging a group of clients following a disaster. Which of the following clients should the nurse recommend for treatment first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Step 1: Client C has a neck injury and is unable to breathe spontaneously, indicating a compromised airway, which is a life-threatening emergency requiring immediate intervention to ensure airway patency and oxygenation.
Step 2: Airway management takes priority in the ABCs of emergency care (Airway, Breathing, Circulation), as without a patent airway, the client cannot survive.
Step 3: Clients with airway compromise can quickly deteriorate to respiratory arrest and cardiac arrest if not addressed promptly.
Summary:
Choices A, B, and D do not present immediate life-threatening airway concerns. Treating these clients first could lead to fatal consequences due to the critical nature of airway obstruction in client C.
