Question 1 of 5
A nurse working in an emergency department is performing triage. To which of the following clients should the nurse assign priority?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. The nurse should assign priority to the client with soot markings following a house fire. This indicates possible inhalation injury, which can lead to airway compromise and respiratory distress. The nurse should assess for airway patency and respiratory status first.
Choice A can indicate a possible infection but does not pose immediate life-threatening risks compared to airway compromise.
Choice B, though serious, does not pose an immediate threat to life if the airway is intact.
Choice C may lead to dehydration but is not as urgent as potential airway compromise.
In summary, the other choices may require attention but do not pose immediate life-threatening risks compared to the client with possible inhalation injury from the house fire.
