Based on your ABCDE assessment findings you are required to justify which patient requires prioritisation of care. In your response you must explain the underlying pathophysiology of the condition in relation to the abnormal clinical cues.
*Please note, for Part B you are not required to discuss medical triage. The process of medical triage determines the severity of a patient’s situation while the focus of this task is to discuss the prioritisation of care that should be carried out for patients in due course to save/improve their lives.
