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?

A. A client who reports night sweats and fever for the last week B. A client who has compound fractures of the tibia and humerus C. A client who reports severe vomiting and diarrhea D. A client who has soot markings around each naris following a house fire

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: A client who has soot markings around each naris following a house fire. This client should be assigned the highest priority because soot markings indicate inhalation injury, which can lead to respiratory compromise. Immediate intervention is crucial to prevent further respiratory distress or damage.

Choice A is incorrect because night sweats and fever, while concerning, do not indicate an immediate life-threatening condition requiring urgent attention.

Choice B is incorrect as compound fractures, although serious, do not pose an immediate threat to life compared to respiratory compromise in
Choice D.

Choice C is incorrect as severe vomiting and diarrhea, while uncomfortable and potentially dehydrating, do not present an immediate life-threatening situation like inhalation injury in
Choice D.

In summary, the correct answer prioritizes the client with potential respiratory compromise over other conditions that are not immediately life-threatening.
