1. Basic ABC's
2. Acute conditions (a matter of life and death) over non-acute/chronic conditions
3. Unstable VS. stable conditions (those clients who had undergone procedures, surgeries during the last 24 hours, ORGAN INVOLVED-take note, which organ is the most important among the choices0
4. Separate "Clean" patients (those whose immune system are compromised) from "dirty" patients(those with infectious conditions)
5. REMEMBER Maslow's hierarchy of NEEDS, start with the very basic(such as food, water, pain...)
6. Home visits- go first to clients who had recent procedures/post-operative AND definitely visit first those considered "clean" and visit last those clients who are infectious

it seems like everyone is getting priority questions on the NCLEX...how exactly does one determine priority? the way i see it, you would think about actually getting this assignment and envisioning what you would do first...but, are there guidelines to follow, a tried and true method for answering these questions?
