The Priority, nursing intervention for this client is in case of shock is  unless you think doing so may make the patient's suffering or injury worse, lay the patient down and elevate the legs. Keep the person still and don't move them.

Shock can be brought on by trauma, heatstroke, blood loss, allergies, severe illnesses, poisoning, severe burns, and other situations. A person in shock doesn't get enough blood or oxygen to their organs. The following are examples of shock signs and symptoms:

1. Cold, clammy skin

2. pale or ashy skin

3. bluish-tinged lips or fingernails (or gray in the case of dark complexions)

4. rapid breaths and a quick heartbeat

Start CPR if the person is not moving, coughing, or breathing. Loosen any constrictive clothing and, if required, wrap the person in a blanket to prevent cold. Don't let them have any food or drinks. If you have access to an epinephrine autoinjector and you think the person is having an allergic reaction, use it as instructed. If the person is bleeding, apply pressure with a cloth or sheet to the area where it is happening. If the individual vomits or starts bleeding from the mouth and there are no signs of a spinal injury, turn them onto their side to prevent choking.
