Priority Question HELP!

I would have went with the SOB. Don't overthink it, remember the nclex is perfect world nursing.

Remember your ABC's and pain never killed anyone, NCLEX is a perfect world.......so, although patient is experiencing chest pain, he is still breathing and is conscious. I would say the SOB patient.........good luck, let us know when you receive your pass results......:)

Well, on second thought, chest pain is priority, those patients tend to be seen urgently.

Yes, thats the answer, A.......chest pain and suspected MI is priority, but dont stress it, one question does not determine the outcome........good luck

Accdg.to Saunders:

1.ABC

2.Maslow Hierarchy

3.Nursing Process

therefore, my answer would be AIRWAY FIRST and that's my PRIORITY!!! (^__~)

I would pick SOB, Priority ABC...

I don't know the answer, but most likely I would go see the patient complaining of SOB. My thinking is this patient is obviously in distress NOW and we know SOB is never anything good. Also follows the ABCs. The patient with CP could be having indigestion, gas, heartburn something that is GI related.

Good point....

I just came across a question in Kaplan that is almost the same

" the nurse is caring for clients in the ER of an acute care facility. four clients have been admitted in the last 20 minutes. which of the following admissions should the nurse see first?

A) A client complaining of chest pain that is unrelieved by nitroglycerin

B) A client with third-degree burns to the face

C) A client with a fractured left hip

D) A client complaining of epigastric pain

And the correct answer is "B" because airway takes precedence over chest pain! So you probably got the question right:)

goodluck with your official result!!

Here's a nursing priority tip I used....now this isn't any particular order but this is usually what you look for initially.... using the word FIRST:

f=find hypoxiemia ( pt may be showing signs and symptoms of SOB and etc)

i= immune compromised

r= real blood

s= safety

t= the others (Infection)
