Telephone Triage for Obstetrics and Gynecology PDF

I bought this book to help guide me in writing triage protocols for the nurses in the office I work. As an experienced (former) nurse in obstetrics I found a lot of what is in this book making me want to give a big "duh!" or "no kidding, what did you think we'd be asking?"- but it's very good for a beginning nurse doing phone triage. The first section of this book includes the basics, legal considerations, and common challenges that triage nurses face.

I really like how easily this book is to read. It's designed to be able to quickly flip to the section you need. Each possible problem to be triaged starts with the pertinent questions to ask. It then breaks it down into easy to follow steps in how to properly triage the patient. Each section gives a brief rationale and/or risk factors that may influence the decisions made.

I think this book could also be used by the obstetric & gynecology nurse outside of triage as well. There is a lot of good information for nurses to use as teaching tools when meeting with women for pregnancy visits or even menopausal visits.

I bought this book based on the high rating but was greatly disappointed to find that it does not cover some very important issues. Do not get this book if you are looking for data for anything but the most routine ob/gyn issues. Just today we could not find info on pre-eclampsia, c-section complications or tubal ligation questions. Would not recommend this book to a private practice or clinic.
