After reviewing the Priority Setting Frameworks ATI module this module helped reinforce my prior knowledge of priority setting as a nurse. When it comes to a nurse choosing a priority assignment there are many different concepts and frameworks that are incorporated. The biggest framework being ABC, airway, breathing, and circulation. When choosing between two patients to prioritize you use the module to assess the ABC’s and then if one patient has their airway obstructed, they become the priority. Diving deeper you have Maslow’s triangle as well as acute vs chronic, safety risk and reduction as well as the nursing process. Most of this module was a review of what I have learned in my fundamentals of nursing as well as in my adult health course, which I am excited to have all in one location where I can go back and review. 

The newest material I learned about was survival potential during a mass casualty event. There are four different classes of injuries to help prioritize injury treatment in relation to a situation where time and materials are limited. This was interesting to learn about because there is a possibility that an event like this could happen and having the knowledge on how to prioritize in an emergency is important. I will continue to learn and reflect on each of the nursing priority frameworks as each of them play such an important role in quality nursing care. Coming back to this ATI module is an important tool as well as they can all be found in one place, with descriptions, examples, and diagrams. From this module I got a stronger understanding of how to prioritize patient care and can utilize this material in clinical/class, and I am excited to do so.
