Aug 3, 201015 yr who will you prioritize in the ER? with rationalea. patient with asthma and DHFb. patient with preterm laborc. patient with head wound with excessive bleeding unconscious thanks!
Aug 6, 201015 yr I think DHF is decompensated heart failure? I could be wrong but that's my best guess. OP, what was the right answer? I'm curious to know as I'm a new grad and think it's important to work on prioritization even though I'm not in the ER setting.I wouldv'e gone with C becauase pt, is bleeding and unconscious. Do they have a pulse and an adequate airway? Pt. in A has asthma but that doesn't mean he's having an exacerbation at the moment. I'm SO glad that I've passed the NCLEX already!
