Chest pain is a time-sensitive emergency. 👉 The priority is getting a 12-lead EKG immediately Why? Because you need to quickly identify or rule out a STEMI (heart attack) — and that changes everything about what happens next. An EKG is: • Fast • Non-invasive • And gives you critical information right away 🚨 Treat the life threat FIRST, then move on to meds, labs, and imaging. This is classic priority thinking: 👉 Identify the problem → then treat it#Crittok #nclex #health #stemi #chestpain
