Priority: Actual Problem (Circulation) vs Potential Problem (Airway)

Published

This comes from kaplan Qbank question.

which is a top priority?

The child with epilepsy playing with small toy ball or a child who complains tightness of cast.

My answer was child with epilepsy because of possible airway obstruction though the time of possible seizure is unknown it is better to prevent it as soon as possible, right?

However, the Kaplan answer was a child who complains tightness of cast.

Im kind of consfuse why circulation is given priority in this situation.
