Description
Provide optimal, evidence-based triage assessment, advice, and protocols, with Triage Protocols for Aging Adults.

The 190 evidence-based protocols offered here address a wide range of symptoms, disorders, and emergencies affecting those 50 and older. Flip quickly to the right symptom and ask the questions listed there to determine whether the individual requires emergency, same-day, or home care. Whether you are in family practice or are a triage nurse working at a hospital, urgent care center, or insurance company, this is the go-to reference to keep by your side.

Advance your evidence-based triage skills and protocols with:
  • Easy-to-follow lowchart format that leads you from yes-or-no questions to assessment, recommendations, and clear instructions
  • 190 protocols that cover the most common conditions faced by aging adults - all body systems, plus weakness, falls, loss of memory, poor appetite, medication interaction problems, and more
  • Alpha-organized table of contents that helps you locate symptoms quickly
