An acute pancreatitis patient needs his pain medication and a patient who has Liver Cirrhosis was confused during the night, I am a nurse receiving report from the night shift nurse, which of these patient's do I see first? This was a test question and i chose treating the pain, because in my readings it said confusion can sometimes be a normal part of the Cirrhosis process, whereas acute pancreatitis is very painful. We have not received our grades back yet so i do not know if I got this question right I was wanting some advice on how to answer this type of question. Also a question a patient is extreme pain from gallstones has nausea and has vomited some. Which do I treat first the pain or the fluid? I chose the pain thinking maybe the pain was leading to his nausea and vomiting or at least exacerbating it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

if you have no suggestions on how to answer the question please don't post, thanks

Patient has gallbladder disease and is in extreme pain and has vomited some, Do I take care of his pain first or his fluid status Also a patient has acute pancreatitis and needs his pain meds and my other patient has liver cirohissis(spelling) who was confused in the night who do I go see first?
