🩺 ER SKILL CHECK – Answer & Rationale

✅ Correct first priority: B – Assess airway

Why:

In emergency care, airway always comes first (ABC: Airway → Breathing → Circulation).

Patient has low oxygen saturation (86%) and cold, clammy skin, which may indicate hypoxia or shock.

Once airway is secured, you can apply oxygen, check vitals, and call the physician.

💡 Tip for practice:

Always follow ABC approach in ER.

Quick airway assessment can save lives before any other interventions.
