survival. The patient’s pulse and respiratory rate are elevated, which could indicate a critical illness.
Rationale 3: According to the vital signs, this patient is not critically ill despite being in a motor vehicle crash.
Rationale 4: The patient on receiving hemodialysis for chronic renal failure is not considered critically ill unless
another disease process or health issue develops. The patient’s vital signs are consistent with someone with
chronic renal failure.
