1st Edition Winner of the AJN Book of the Year Award for
Emergency/Critical Care Nursing 2nd Edition Accompanied by Provider
Approved Contact Hours for Continuing Education This authoritative
orientation guide for new and seasoned nurses, preceptors,
educators, management teams, urgent care staff, pre-hospital
personnel, and anyone working in the triage arena, presents
essential information to access quickly and repeatedly. Patients
rarely present to triage with a diagnosis, but rather convey a
multitude of complaints, signs, and symptoms. It is the job of the
triage nurse to identify serious "red flag" presentations hidden
among all this information, all while delivering individualized
care and juggling wait times in often over-crowded emergency
departments. Fast Facts for the Triage Nurse, Second Edition
retains its key focus on numerous aspects of triage for emergency
department and urgent care settings, from orientation, to front-end
processes, to clinical practice and nursing essentials. With
real-life examples, chapters detail a multitude of clinical
presentations and include procedures and protocols that the triage
nurse implements in daily practice. This newly revised and updated
edition covers how to build confidence in the triage role,
accurately assess patient presentations, reduce personnel and
hospital liability, increase patient and staff satisfaction, and,
ultimately, deliver quality patient care that supports best
outcomes. 5 New Chapters in the Second Edition: Active
