ATI Nur 175 Med Surg Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse working in the emergency department is triaging a 65-year-old female client from a mass casualty motor vehicle crash. The client arrives ambulatory by ambulance and is complaining of a headache and neck pain. She is awake, alert, and oriented, and follows commands appropriately. What START triage level would be assigned to this client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The yellow category in the START triage system is for clients who are unable to walk but have stable conditions that do not require immediate life-saving intervention. Since this client is ambulatory, she does not fit into the yellow category. The green category is for clients who are ambulatory with minor injuries and do not require urgent medical attention. This client is awake, alert, oriented, and able to follow commands, indicating that she is stable and her injuries are not life-threatening. The black category is for clients who are deceased or have injuries so severe that they are not expected to survive even with immediate medical intervention. This client is stable and responsive, so she does not fit into this category. The red category is for clients who need immediate life-saving intervention. Although this client has a headache and neck pain, her vital signs and ability to follow commands indicate that she does not require immediate life-saving intervention.
