The goal for the resident who has been experiencing a medication reaction that states he will have no rash and uncompromised respirations reflects a level 1 priority, a life-threatening situation. The goal for an obese resident who has had a recent knee replacement that states she will ambulate using a walker with the assistance of a staff member is level 2, essential to safety. The remaining options are level 3 priorities, essential to the medical/nursing plan of care.
