Nursing patient problems must be prioritised. 

# data[].attributes.subject
Nursing patient problems must be prioritised. 

# data[].attributes.body
1. #1 Based on reason for admission

2. Prioritise patient problems!

3. Medical history may impact the reason for admission, so they must be included in the care plan.

4. Must care for medical needs based on current home regime (give home meds) or based on medical history (for non-compliant patients)

5. Patients may come in with many problems, but you will only have time to deal with the priority patient problems related to admission.

6. You may even have to consider another patient's priority problem over another patient based on your time available.

Example share to me by one of our educators.
