Question 1 of 5
A nurse is triaging clients in the emergency department. Which of the following clients should the nurse ask the provider to care for first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Acute epiglottitis is a medical emergency due to potential airway compromise. The child's drooling and absence of cough indicate a severe obstruction that can rapidly progress to complete airway closure. Immediate intervention is crucial to prevent respiratory distress or arrest.
Choices A, B, and C have less urgent conditions that can be managed after ensuring the child with epiglottitis receives prompt care.
Choice A, although having asthma, is stable with adequate oxygenation.
Choice B, although in pain, can wait briefly for pain medication.
Choice C, although having otitis media, does not present immediate life-threatening risk compared to epiglottitis.
