Book Reviews of Telephone Triage Protocols for Nurses

Book Review: Excellent Book
Summary: 5 Stars

If the armed forces uses it and bases their clinical practice guidelines on it, it's got to be good, right? It is. I use this book in nurse telephone triage for a military pediatric clinic with 2700 patients. The book is spiral bound and easy to flip pages, and the pages stay open to the topic you are using. Topics are alphabetized which saves time when searching for a certain topic. There is a very useful table of contents at the front. The home care instructions are straight forward and acceptable to our parents. It doesn't have all the topics you would need (that's what pediatricians are for), but tab topics you use most, add a drug book and a pediatrician, and you're ready to go.

Summary of Telephone Triage Protocols for Nurses

This maunal presents approximately 200 adult, child and maternal protocols and their related home care instructions. It aims to help the reader quickly detect the urgency of a caller's problem by suggesting appropriate questions, grouped according to the degree of urgency. The nurse should then be able to assess the severity of the problem and the need of medical intervention. It should help decide who needs immediate medical attention, who should be seen within 24 hours and who can be monitored at home. In addition the text addresses legal issues, lessening the risk of liability. A format is provided for setting up a personl telephone triage prgramme.
