Correct Answer is C

Explanation

a. While documenting that an incident report has been filed is important, it should not be the first action taken. The nurse should first take steps to address the issue.
b. In this situation, contacting risk management may be necessary, but the immediate priority should be to address the client's concerns and ensure appropriate follow-up.
c. Contacting the nurse manager is the appropriate first action to report the client's complaint and initiate further investigation and intervention as needed.
d. Reassuring the client about the staff's training is not sufficient in addressing the client's complaint of excessive force. The issue should be reported to the appropriate authority for investigation and resolution.

A. Green B. Yellow C. Black D. Red

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

a. Green tags are used for the "walking wounded" who will need medical care at some point after more critical injuries have been treated. This would not be appropriate for a client with full thickness burns on 72% of his body, as this condition is life-threatening and requires immediate attention.
b. Yellow tags are for those who require observation and possible later re-triage. Their condition is stable for the moment, and they are not in immediate danger of death. This client's condition, however, is too critical for a yellow tag.
c. Black tags are typically used for individuals who are deceased or expected to die imminently. The chances of survival for this patient are very minimal since the burn surface area is more than 50% with full thickness burns
d. Red tags are for those with severe injuries who require immediate treatment but have a chance of survival.
