3. Patient with blood glucose level 11.4 mmol/L
Case scenario 4

I know prioritize ABC and Maslow's. I'm collecting the prioritization ranking for each case scenario (and reasons, if you kindly have the time). I have asked doctors and nurses (the ones who I think won't give me an earful, hahaha) in the wards/units for their answers. Your answers and reasons would be grateful.
