Pathophysiology
Clinical meaning
Mental health crisis care items test whether you connect assessment data to risk: what changes first, what needs escalation, and what teaching or orders are unsafe in context.
US RN (NCLEX-RN): Prioritize airway–breathing–circulation and unstable vs stable framing. Watch delegation traps: what must stay with the RN when the client is deteriorating vs what is appropriate for the UAP/LPN when stable and within competency.
