Question 1 of 5
A nurse working in an emergency department is performing triage. Which of the following clients should the nurse assign priority?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because compound fractures of the tibia and humerus indicate a potentially life-threatening situation requiring immediate attention to prevent further complications like internal bleeding or infection. This client needs urgent stabilization and pain management.
Choices A, C, and D require assessment and intervention but do not pose immediate life-threatening risks compared to the client with compound fractures. Night sweats and fever may indicate infection but can be further evaluated. Severe vomiting and diarrhea may lead to dehydration but can be managed with fluids. Soot markings from a house fire suggest possible smoke inhalation but do not require immediate intervention like the client with fractures.
