Which should be seen first?

Question: Two pts come into the ER, which pt needs to be seen first: Pt complaining of SOB or pt complaining of severe chest pain. I'm preparing for an interview and thought of this question. I know I need to think of ABC's so i'm leaning towards choosing the patient with SOB. thanks!

ahhh the art of triage!!! On a test...yes, the SOB..... but in reality, just assess.....quickly... sob with stable vs and sao2.... vs.... CP holding chest diaphoretic..... U better grab the CP and EKG stat.... SHIZ can hit the fan and the snap of a finger.... Listen to your gut!!! Good luck!

If that's all the information I was given. I would chose the SOB for the room first. They are both level 2s. They are both vague complaints as given by you.

ABC: Sob (just my opinion)
