The ED nurse is triaging four children. Which child should be the nurse's priority?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The child with dyspnea and a palpable abdominal mass is the priority, as this suggests a serious condition like Wilms' tumor, requiring swift diagnosis. Vomiting and diarrhea, a facial laceration, and fever are less urgent.
