Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 5
Terms used to describe yellow pigmentation of the skin and sclera include jaundice, icterus, and kernicterus. Dyspepsia, sclerosis, and cirrhosis are not terms used to describe the yellow pigmentation of the skin and sclera.

Answer to Question 2

1
No one can predict when the next patient will arrive or the severity of their injury or illness; this is why emergency departments utilize a triage system, which is a method to rank or classify patients' illnesses and the severity of their injuries. The triage system does not rank clients by body systems involved, name, or age.
