Gerald Luna is a 45-year-old client with a 15-year history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and a 30-year history of alcoholism. His blood glucose is not well controlled on an oral hypoglycemic agent, and he drinks one six-pack of beer per day. Gerald works at a casino as a slot machine repairman. His wife of 25 years, Andrea, is also employed by the casino in the accounting department. Gerald and Andrea live on a reservation near the casino in a rural setting.

Gerald was involved in a car accident on the way to work. He was not restrained and was thrown from the car into the roadside brush. The crash was witnessed, and bystanders called 911. First responders arrived to find Gerald unconscious with labored breathing and a deformed right lower extremity. A witness stated that Mr. Luna just drove off the road and appeared to be asleep. No other vehicles were involved. The first responders established monitoring equipment, intubated Gerald at the scene, started intravenous fluids with 0.9% normal saline, and splinted his right lower extremity.

Evaluate the information in the case and determine the Top 3 Priority concerns or cues.
