You prepare for transport. What is her Arrival and Departure CTAS Level?

Answer 1

The Arrival and Departure CTAS Level for this patient would be CTAS Level 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Arrival and Departure CTAS (Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale) Level for this patient would be CTAS Level 2.

CTAS Level 2 is assigned to patients who have urgent needs, but are not immediately life-threatening. In this case, the patient is experiencing vaginal bleeding and abdominal cramping during early pregnancy, which can indicate a potential complication. While she appears well and her vital signs are stable, the symptoms and pregnancy status warrant further evaluation and care.
