Appropriate treatments to initiate at triage are indicated where needed. This book puts forward a practical way of coming back to basics and helps categorize priority for patients. As an educator or manager, I would feel confident that, with it, my nurses are being prepared to make safe decisions with an accurate program that reflects current thinking in triage strategy.”-Tom Trimble, RN, CEN, BA, ASN, AAEditor and PublisherEmergency Nursing WorldThis critical-thinking blueprint for the triage nurse delivers essential knowledge for accurate decision-making in emergency triage situations.
