情境模拟:Unit1 Dialogue2 as Student Nurse Kelly 采用教材:《涉外护理英语情境对话》,刘晨,外语教学与研究出版社 2: Triage (Student nurse Kelly is helping at the triage room, following RN Lisa.) Kell Lisa: Thats a good question. Do you know what the word triage means? Kell Lisa: Well, the triage nurse does the initial assessment on a patient, and sorts patients according to the acuity of illness. We see patients who need immediate medical attention first. We don t always see patients in the order they arrive Kell Lisa: Y( patients come in by different types of transportation. If a patient is brought a helicopter, I don t see the patient at the triage station at all. The patient must be in a very critical condition to have a helicopter to bring him in, right? Kelly Lisa: Triage nurses don't usually see patients who are brought in by ambulance either Kelly Lisa: Because in most cases, the paramedics have already assessed the patient and initiated the treatment Kell Lisa: We see walk-in patients. We call them walk-in, but it really means these patients come to the hospital on their own. They might be brought in by their family members or friends, or they could drive themselves in, or they could really walk in These patients were not assessed by any health care professionals before arriving at the hospital, so a triage nurse should assess the patient to decide if the patient needs immediate medical attention

Do you know what the word triage means? Kelly: Lisa: Well, the triage nurse does the initial assessment on a patient, and sorts patients according to the acuity of illness. We see patients who need immediate medical attention first. We don’t always see patients in the order they arrive. Kelly: Lisa: You see, patients come in by different types of transportation.

Kelly: Lisa: Triage nurses don’t usually see patients who are brought in by ambulance, either. Kelly: Lisa: Because in most cases, the paramedics have already assessed the patient and initiated the treatment. Kelly: Lisa: We see walk-in patients. We call them “walk-in”, but it really means these patients come to the hospital on their own. They might be brought in by their family members or friends, or they could drive themselves in, or they could really walk in. These patients were not assessed by any health care professionals before arriving at the hospital, so a triage nurse should assess the patient to decide if the patient needs immediate medical attention
Lisa: Every hospital has its triage policy, but in general we give first priority to those who are most severely injured. For example, think about a 65-year-old man with severe chest pain and shortness of breath. This patient cannot wait. One minute can make the difference between life and death. So we let these patients go directly into the Emergency Department right away Kell Lisa: You re right. In addition to patients who need immediate treatment, there are patients whose conditions are life-threatening, but can wait for up to 10 to 15 minutes Those patients are given the second priority Kelly Lisa: You know what? The patients who come to the ER are not al ways in need of emergency services. These patients have to yield to others whose conditions are more urgent. We respect every patients feelings about his or her illness, and offer treatment as early as possible if there aren t more urgent cases that need to be seen first Lisa: It's not an easy job. a triage nurse needs training and experience. The hospital will have written policies, procedures, or triage guidelines to help
