Question

A nurse is caring for a client brought to the Emergency Department as one of the first victims of a train accident. The nurse assesses the client, noting a respiratory rate of 38, a weak, rapid pulse, and uncontrolled bleeding. Using NATO guidelines, the nurse assigns which priority tag?

Answer 1

Correct Answers:

Red tag

Rationale :

🧨According to NATO triage guidelines used during mass casualty incidents, a client with rapid respirations (RR of 38), weak rapid pulse, and uncontrolled bleeding is classified as a Red tag priority.

🧨This designation is used for clients who require immediate life-saving interventions but still have a chance of survival.

🧨 Uncontrolled bleeding suggests circulatory compromise, making this client a top priority for emergency treatment.

Answer 2

Correct Answers:

A private room

Rationale :

💠Scabies is caused by mites and is transmitted through prolonged skin-to-skin contact.

💠Clients with scabies should be placed in contact precautions, which includes a private room to prevent spreading the infestation to others.

💠A negative or positive pressure room is not necessary, and placing them with someone who has another parasitic condition (like lice) increases cross-contamination risk.

Answer 4

Correct Answers:

Providing a snack to a diabetic client who is feeling lightheaded.

Rationale :

🔸A diabetic client who is feeling lightheaded could be experiencing hypoglycemia, which requires immediate attention.

🔸This task is time-sensitive and should be prioritized over non-urgent care like bathing or ambulation.

🔸 Feeding a client or assisting with a bath is important, but addressing blood glucose issues takes precedence due to the risk of rapid deterioration.

Answer 5

Correct Answers:

Penetrating injuries

Rationale :

🧩Secondary blast injuries are caused by flying debris and shrapnel propelled by the explosion.

🧩These result in penetrating injuries, which are distinct from primary blast injuries (e.g., hollow organ damage), which result from the pressure wave.

🧩 Nurses should anticipate wounds with embedded objects and lacerations in clients affected by explosions.

Answer 8

Correct Answers:

Changes in consciousness.

Rationale :

🍕A hemorrhagic stroke often presents suddenly with a rapid decline in neurological status, and one of the earliest signs is a change in level of consciousness.

🍕The rupture of an aneurysm leads to increased intracranial pressure and altered brain perfusion, making this a key symptom to anticipate.

Answer 9

Correct Answers:

"Move objects away from the client."

Rationale :

💨The safest and most appropriate response during a seizure is to protect the client from injury.

💨 Moving objects away from them prevents trauma during convulsions.

💨Inserting objects into the mouth or restraining the client can cause harm.

💨Placing the client on their back is incorrect; side-lying is preferred after the seizure ends.
