Newspapers & Magazines
The authors not only encourage data gathering, they emphasize the qualities of personal interactions, courtesy and sensitivity, and consideration to upgrade triage category when history is hampered by youth, age, impairment of faculties, or language ability that might otherwise conceal potential problems. 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, AA Editor and Publisher Emergency Nursing World
