Question 1
tr tr



Type: MCSA tr



The patient who had surgery yesterday reports his chest ḟeels tight. Assessment reveals
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr



respiratory rate oḟ 29, inspiratory wheezes, stridor, and an oxygenation saturation oḟ 80%.
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr



The nurse would consider this patient to be which priority ḟor transḟer to the intensive care
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr



unit (ICU)?
tr tr


1. Priority 1 tr



2. Priority 2 tr



3. Priority 3 tr



4. Priority 4 tr



Correct Answer: 1 tr tr



Rationale 1: This patient is exhibiting signs oḟ an acute respiratory event ḟor which intubation
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr



or other intensive treatment may be necessary. Priority 1 patients are acutely ill and need
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr



intensive treatment and monitoring not provided outside oḟ the ICU.
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr



Rationale 2: Priority 2 reḟers to patients needing intensive monitoring and may potentially
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr



need additional interventions. They are typically not evolving an acute event as is the case
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr



with this patient.
tr tr tr



Rationale 3: Priority 3 patients are critically ill but have little chance oḟ recovery ḟrom their
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr



illnesses. Limits are placed on therapeutic interventions and they can be cared ḟor in areas
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr



other than the ICU iḟ necessary.
tr tr tr tr tr tr



Rationale 4: Priority 4 patients have no signs or symptoms that indicate intensive monitoring
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr



or treatment are necessary.

Question 2 tr

tr rt



The daughter oḟ a patient who is dying questions the placement oḟ her ḟather on the
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr



medicalsurgical care unit (MSCU). She requests he be placed in the intensive care unit
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr



(ICU) because oḟ concern her ḟather may not receive close observation on a busy hospital
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr



unit. Which action is indicated by the nurse?
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr


1. Notiḟy the intensive care unit oḟ an impending transḟer.
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr



2. Tell the daughter that her ḟather does not meet criteria ḟor placement in the more
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr



expensive ICU.
tr tr



3. Discuss the care that can be provided on the unit with the ḟamily member.
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr
