ATI VIDEO CASE STUDY PRIORITY SETTING
ATI Video Case Study Priority Setting
As nurses are responsible for taking care of many patients at the same time, critical
thinking and priority frameworks play a crucial role in determining which patient to see first and
what interventions to implement first. Any delay or mistake in the judgment can eventually lead
to irreversible harm to the patients. Nurses can prioritize patient care and interventions using
different priority setting frameworks such as ABC, acute vs. chronic, emergent vs. routine, and
safety and risk reduction framework. The ABC framework stands for airway, breathing, and
circulation; A identifies an airway concern such as an obstructive patent airway, B determines the
effectiveness of breathing such as respiratory depression, and C identifies concern in blood
circulation such as dysrhythmia or inadequate cardiac output (ATI, 2016). The difference
between acute and chronic condition is that acute happens suddenly and last a short time of a few
days to weeks, and chronic develops slowly and sometimes worsen over an extended period of
months to years. Acute disease can also be emergent which patients may experience life-
threatening situations, and chronic is more a routine in which the patient has the disease for a
long time and would not be life-threatening now. Safety and risk reduction frameworks are used
routinely in nursing assessment; risk factors that create harms to a patient’s environmental,
medical, emotional, and physical safety should be assessed and eliminated.
Based on the valuable information given by the previous nurse in the ATI scenario, I
would first see patient Lennie William who has contacted the assistant personal regarding his
pain in the right calf. According to the assistant personal, Lennie’s right calf is showing redness
which can be a warning sign for deep vein thrombosis or DVT. DVT is a condition when blood
clots develop in the deep veins and are commonly found unilaterally in the lower extremity;
clinical manifestations of DVT include redness, swelling, warmth, and pain to the affected area
