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 while delivering individualized care and juggling wait times in often overcrowded emergency departments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFast Facts for the Triage Nurse, Second Edition, \u003c\/i\u003e 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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e5 New Chapters in the Second Edition: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive Shooter\/Active Violence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmergency Management for When Disaster Strikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriage Competency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePain Management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEndocrine Emergencies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eContinuing Education: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eObtain up to 11.0 contact hours by successfully completing accompanying online post-tests.
