A patient without health insurance comes to the emergency department limping and dripping blood from a head wound. Which intervention should be performed first with this patient?

Question

The first priority is to determine the patient's triage level and provide necessary medical treatment. The patient's lack of health insurance does not determine the urgency or necessity of medical care. Option A and D are not appropriate and violate the principle of non-maleficence. Option C is not appropriate as the patient's medical condition needs to be addressed first.
