HESI LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT –
ELABORATED REVIEW

1. Priority Setting (VERY HIGH-YIELD)



HESI almost always uses priority frameworks:



Use in this order:



1. ABCs – Airway, Breathing, Circulation




2. Maslow’s hierarchy – Physiological needs first




3. Acute vs Chronic – Acute first




4. Unstable vs Stable – Unstable first




5. Actual vs Potential – Actual first

, 6. Safety first – Always overrides others




🔹 Example Question A nurse has four patients. Who should be seen first?
A. Client with chronic pain rating 7/10

B. Client with BP 90/60 and dizziness

C. Client awaiting discharge teaching

D. Client with constipation x3 days



✅ Correct Answer: B
📌 Rationale: Circulation problem = unstable patient → priority.
