Jeffery Marshall is a 3-month-old infant who was brought to the emergency department by their parent for reports of crying when the parent moves their left arm. The parent states, “Something just isn’t right. My baby cries whenever I touch his left arm.” The parent states that they left their infant with their friend while they ran to the store, and upon returning, the child was sleeping in their crib and had “spit up” on their clothing. The parent lifted the infant from their crib to change their clothes, and while lifting the infant’s left arm out of their jumper, the infant started screaming. The parent also noticed bruising on the infant’s chest while changing him that had not been there before. When they asked their friend if anything happened while they were gone, the friend stated, “Nothing happened. He just cried and wouldn’t stop, so I put him in the crib for a nap. He kept crying but eventually fell asleep.” After receiving handoff report, the nurse should determine the infant’s priority needs. Indicate if the infant is a high priority or low priority using each of the priority frameworks below. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs • High Priority • Low Priority Airway, Breathing, and Circulation • High Priority O Low Priority Safety and Risk Reduction • High Priority O Low Priority Urgent vs. Nonurgent High Priority O Low Priority
