Priority interventions are those that must be performed to save the client's life,including intubation,IV fluid replacement for shock,and pacemaker placement.Splinting a fracture and removing glass from a client's arm can wait until after life-threatening injuries are cared for.Postmortem care would wait until after all clients have been cared for.
