I hope Nilay didn't try to treat the wound himself with a band-aid and some duct tape. That would be a recipe for a trip to the ER!

C) urgent care, for sure. Nilay didn't need the full-blown resources of the emergency department, but he did need prompt medical attention. Urgent care is the way to go for minor injuries like that.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Could it be D) emergency care since he was taken to the hospital? Although the fact that he was treated in an outpatient unit makes me think it was more like urgent care.

B) primary prevention doesn't seem right, since Nilay already had a wound that needed treatment. I'd go with C) urgent care.

I think the answer is C) urgent care. The triage nurse directed Nilay to an outpatient unit for treatment, which sounds like an urgent care situation rather than emergency care.
