About the Book

Provides critical information to help healthcare providers ensure patient safety by preventing "misses" or "near-misses"

Newly updated, this life-saving pocket-sized clinical manual guides triage nurses to rapidly recognize life-threatening or life-altering conditions. The second edition delivers new chapters on endocrine emergencies, hematologic and oncologic emergencies, sexual assault and intimate partner violence, and human trafficking. Pediatric and older adult chapters offer extensive new information on assessment, triage pearls, and key tips for age-related emergencies. Also included is updated STEMI, Stroke, and Sepsis guidelines. Purchase includes digital access for use on most mobile devices or computers.

Focusing on patient-driven chief complaints, this resource provides a wealth of concise information covering each body system along with first-line questions, assessments, and interventions to determine the patient's level of urgency, sick versus not sick. Prominent icons denote critical signs and symptoms and deliver invaluable information from experienced triage/ED nurses. Content encompasses triage, waiting room and legal issues, high-risk medical conditions, and special issues in emergency care. Including action steps to aid in prioritizing during a crisis, the resource covers trauma, burns, active shooter/active threat, and emergency management during a disaster.
