Four clients in the emergency department
Question 1 of 5
A triage nurse in an emergency department is caring for a group of clients. Which of the following clients should the nurse assess first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Client who is confused and has slurred speech. This client is showing signs of a potential stroke, which is a medical emergency requiring immediate assessment. The nurse should prioritize this client as rapid intervention can help minimize the impact of a stroke. Assessing for FAST (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) symptoms is crucial. The other choices, while also serious, do not present immediate life-threatening conditions. A: Displaced femur fracture can wait as it is not immediately life-threatening. B: Severe vomiting and diarrhea with tachycardia may be due to dehydration but can be managed with fluids and medications. D: Chemical burns are serious, but the client's airway, breathing, and circulation are not immediately compromised.
