What the emergency nursing nurse checks

  • Triage acuity assignment and re-triage
  • Door-to-ECG and other time-critical protocols
  • Waiting-room monitoring and reassessment
  • Discharge instructions and return precautions

What the review examines

  • Sepsis screening at triage and on the unit, and the response to positive screens
  • Vital signs, mental status and urine output trends
  • Timing of escalation to the provider
  • Time from order to lactate draw, blood cultures, antibiotics and fluids
  • Reassessment after fluids and when lactate stays elevated
  • Facility sepsis protocol and the CMS SEP-1 bundle elements
  • Discharge decisions and return precautions in emergency department cases

Proposals come from license-verified emergency nursing nurses, with their fee and turnaround.
