Pediatric Nursing Triage
Hi Everyone--
We recently presented to a pediatric clinic and one of the nurses asked a question at the end that I thought was worth exploring. They field 500+ phone calls a day from mom's and dad's. The nurse wondered what things they could watch for and/or ask as they are interacting with these parents. One of the things I mentioned was a mom who called about their child's 100 degree fever and they are told to call if it goes higher. Then that parent calls three, four, five times NOT because the fever has gotten higher but because of anxiety and concern. But I'm sure there are many other things that could be observed via process not just by asking questions.
So my question to you all would be: What would you say to this nurse? What symptoms can be observed/assessed over the phone, what questions could be asked?
Thanks!
