ABCDE (airway, breathing, circulation, disability, exposure) approach

A systematic method that can be utilized in any health care setting to evaluate and treat the client. ABCDE is the acronym for airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure.

A framework in which acute conditions are prioritized over chronic conditions.

Client care activities that are performed at the bedside.

Client care activities performed by the nurse away from the bedside.

least restrictive/least invasive

Interventions are selected that maintain client safety while producing the least amount of restriction to the client; the nurse chooses interventions that are the least invasive.

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs

A theory that suggests there are five categories of needs that motivate human beings. The five categories are psychological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.

A framework that guides nurses in delivering client-focused care that takes the entire person into consideration. The five steps are assessment, analysis, planning, implementation, and evaluation.

Process in which allocated resources are scarce and there will not be enough to meet all of the required needs.

The distribution of resources to a service or department.

safety and risk reduction

Priority is given to whatever finding poses the greatest or immediate risk to the client's physical or psychological well-being.

Priority is given to the client who has a reasonable chance of survival with immediate intervention. This framework is typically used in situations where resources are limited, such as with mass casualties and disaster triage.

To sort and rank treatment of clients according to the urgency of their need for care.

unstable versus stable

Priority is given to the client who has an unstable condition versus the client with a stable condition.

urgent versus nonurgent

Priority is given to the client who has an urgent need over a client with a nonurgent need.
