Emergent.

Chest pain is considered an emergent priority. which is defined as potentially life-threatening.Option B: Clients with urgent priority need treatment within 2 hours of triage (e.g. kidney stones).Option A: Non-urgent conditions can wait for hours or even days.Option D: High urgent is not commonly used; however. in 5-tier triage systems. High urgent patients fall between emergent and urgent in terms of the time elapsing prior to treatment.
