Prioritization
Topic: Management
Deciding which client or need to address first when there are several. Common frameworks are airway, breathing and circulation (ABCs); Maslow's hierarchy, which puts physiological and safety needs first; and acute, unexpected changes before chronic, expected findings. A life-threatening problem always comes first.
