This framework assigns priority to the factor or situation posing the greatest safety risk to the client. When there are several risks to client safety, the one posing the greatest threat is the highest priority.

Cover the child's wounds with a clean, dry cloth. Establish IV access for the child with a large-bore catheter. Provide reassurance to the child's parents. Determine the child's breathing pattern.

Determine the child's breathing pattern. The nurse should apply the ABC priority setting framework. This framework emphasizes the basic core of human functioning: having an open airway, being able to breathe in adequate amounts of oxygen, and circulating oxygen to the body's organs via the blood. An alteration in any of these can indicate a threat to life, and is therefore the nurse's priority concern. When applying the ABC priority setting framework, airway is always the highest priority because the airway must be clear and open for oxygen exchange to occur. Breathing is the second highest priority in the ABC priority setting framework because adequate ventilatory effort is essential in order for oxygen exchange to occur. Determining the child's breathing pattern is the first action the nurse should take. Circulation is the third highest priority in the ABC priority setting framework because delivery of oxygen to critical organs only occurs if the heart and blood vessels are capable of efficiently carrying oxygen to them.

Encourage the child to use an incentive spirometer. The nurse should apply the ABC priority-setting framework. This framework emphasizes the basic core of human functioning - having an open airway, being able to breathe in adequate amounts of oxygen, and circulating oxygen to the body's organs via the blood. An alteration in any of these can indicate a threat to life, and is therefore the nurse's priority concern. When applying the ABC priority setting framework, airway is always the highest priority because the airway must be clear and open for oxygen exchange to occur. Breathing is the second highest priority in the ABC priority setting framework because adequate ventilatory effort is essential in order for oxygen exchange to occur. Encouraging the child to use an incentive spirometer will assist the child in adequate oxygenation and is the priority nursing action. Circulation is the third highest priority in the ABC priority setting framework because delivery of oxygen to critical organs only occurs if the heart and blood vessels are capable of efficiently carrying oxygen to them

A nurse is caring for a child who is postoperative following a tonsillectomy. Which of the following findings is the nurse's priority? Nausea Hoarse voice Frequent swallowing Sore throat

Murmur at the left sternal border A ventricular septal defect, a hole in the septal wall between the ventricles, is an acyanotic heart defect. A systolic murmur can be best heard at the lower left sternal border. Sound is transmitted in the direction of blood flow, so any backflow of blood from the left to the right ventricle through the septal defect is best heard in this area.
