Part of applying the diagnostic reasoning process requires that data be prioritized based on the
urgency of the signs or symptoms. For example, immediate priority must be given to signs or
symptoms that reflect life-threatening issues, while other signs and symptoms might be assigned a
secondary priority even though they are urgent until the emergent issues are addressed. The lowest
level priority issues are those that don't risk life and don't have a high likelihood of escalating in
severity.
