Nurse is caring for many clients during mass casualty event. Which client is highest priority?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because clients with partial & full-thickness burns to face, neck, chest are the highest priority during a mass casualty event. This is due to the potential for airway compromise and risk of respiratory distress. Burns to these areas can cause swelling and compromise the airway, leading to respiratory distress and possible respiratory failure. Immediate intervention is crucial to ensure adequate oxygenation and ventilation. Clients with crush injuries (
A) or fractures (
D) may have serious injuries but are not at immediate risk of airway compromise. A laceration to the head (
B) may require urgent attention but is not as life-threatening as airway compromise.
