Explanation
The letters R, P, and M stand for Respiration, Perfusion, and Mental Status. This acronym is commonly used in medical settings to assess a patient's vital signs and overall condition.

Correct Answer

The statement that all patients who cannot walk are considered "Immediate" is false. This implies that every patient who is unable to walk is automatically classified as needing immediate attention or treatment. However, this is not necessarily true as there are various factors and criteria that determine the urgency of medical care for a patient. The inability to walk alone does not determine the priority level of medical attention required.Rate this question:
