A) Emergent or immediate care is needed for life-threatening issues that require prompt treatment and care. Stabilization of the client's condition is critical. A respiratory rate of 8 and a blood pressure of 78/40 mmHg would be emergent. Urgent or delayed care is for serious health conditions in which a delay of treatment and care would not result in life-threatening situations. Holding a broken arm sitting in a chair and bleeding from superficial facial wounds while talking with family would be urgent. Non-urgent or minor issues do not require prompt care. Many of these clients can ambulate and are stable in their conditions. The client walking with a limp and asking for something to drink would be non-urgent.
