    please help need answer urgently

    Who would be my top priority a patient who has acute pancreatitis and needs his pain medication or a patient who has liver cirohissis(spelling) who got confused last night?

    Also a gallbladder patient is in severe pain and has vomited some what do you correct first his pain or his fluid status?

    An acute condition needs your attention first; you have 2. The pancreatitis patient with cirrhosis who has developed confusion overnight is concerning but the gallbladder patient who is vomiting needs your attention first (after ensuring that your confused patient is safe). Address his pain first because it's acute and then his fluid status.
