Level 2 priorities include which of the following?

• A. ABCs
• B. Mental Status Changes, Acute Pain, Abnormal Lab Tests
• C. Risk Categories, At-Risk Groups—Safety and Infection Along with Chronic Problems
• D. Chronic Disease Management

Answer: (C)

Level 2 priorities are about safeguarding populations by recognizing and addressing risk categories and at‑risk groups, with a focus on safety, infection control, and managing chronic problems. This level aims to prevent deterioration and protect those most vulnerable, rather than addressing immediate life-saving actions or acute emergencies that demand rapid, urgent care. Chronic disease management is important, but Level 2 centers on reducing risk and ensuring safety and infection prevention for vulnerable groups.
