When treating an unstable patient, how often should you reassess during your ongoing assessment?

Every 1 minute
Every 5 minutes
Every 10 minutes
Every 15 minutes

Explanation

Answer: B - Unstable patients should be reassessed for changes in condition every 5 minutes during the ongoing assessment. If you reassess infrequently you may miss major changes in patient condition causing the patient to become more critical. Stable patients can be reassessed every 15 minutes, as they will be less likely to deteriorate as quickly.
