#1, he’s presenting MI symptoms, his symptoms are currently active. #4 would be my 2nd patient to see as she might be experiencing DKA, or heading towards HHNS if she’s DM 2; she’s my 2nd pt since she’s not presenting any other active symptoms, bc the question doesn’t state she does
1. High glucose can be waited on a little longer than bad chest pain
1,4,2,3. Patient may be having an MI and will die first if no intervention is made. Next is the patient with diabetes, third patient had symptoms of meningitis which may require a spinal tap. And last is the skateboarding male.
#1 sudden onset of pain radiating to left arm
#1 n 2 important words sudden and severe
Option 1
1, 4, 2, 3 - Priority is pt. #1 = major sign of M.I.
1severe & sudden because 2 has symptoms ongoing for hours .
Option 1- ?Myocardial Infraction
I chose 4 because I used the “askgraph” method to choose the answer
1. Anything SUDDEN symptoms needs to be seen immediately
1 - MI
Patient #1 sudden and severe chest pain
No.1 is experiencing M.I.
# 1 myocardial infarction
1st option.
The 1st patient b/c of myocardial infarction currently active
1 is priority
1, that pain could be IM
