Nursing Prioritization and ABCs | How I Almost Killed My Patient

Nursing Prioritization and ABCs | How I Almost Killed My Patient

I almost killed my patient.

In the days after my scary event I spent hours and hours thinking through what I had done.

I knew my ABCs, I had prioritized everything I was supposed to, how could things have gone so horribly wrong…

See our full lesson on Prioritization at NURSING.com.


And I realized that I had overlooked a very important part of my ABCs.

It wasn't the A - airway, the B - breathing, or the C - circulation

What was left, what did I miss?

What I violated was Safety.

That small little "s" at the end of my ABCs - Safety

And I learned 3 Crucial Take-Aways

  1. ABCs are Priorities not Checklists!

  2. Don't be complacent about the s for Safety

  3. Ask for help as soon as possible
