Priority nursing care in disaster situations needs to be delivered to the living and
not the dead. The child who is bleeding badly is the priority. The bleeding could be
from an arterial vessel; if the bleeding is not stopped, the child is at risk for shock
and death. The pregnant client is the next priority, but the absence of fetal
movement may or may not be indicative of fetal demise. The young child is with a
