Are the triage decisions made in the field, in the ED, and in the ICU the same or different? In what ways?

never [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

ED triage: Used daily to prioritize patient assessment and treatment in the emergency department during routine functioning. Priority is given to those most in need. Resources are not rationed. Inpatient triage: Applied day-to-day in a variety of medical settings, such as the ICU, medical imaging, surgery, and outpatient areas, to allocate scarce resources. Priority is given to those most in need based upon medical criteria. Resources are rarely rationed. Incident triage: Used in multiple casualty incidents such as bus accidents, fires, or airline accidents to prioritize the evacuation and treatment of patients. These events place significant stress on local resources but do not overwhelm them. Resources are rarely rationed, and most patients receive maximal treatment. Military triage: Used on the battlefield, modern military triage protocols most reflect the original concept of triage and include many of the same principles. Resources are rationed when their supply is threatened. Disaster triage: Used in mass casualty incidents that overwhelm local and regional healthcare systems. Disaster triage protocols both prioritize salvageable patients for treatment and ration resources to ensure the greatest good for the greatest number.

a nurse is caring for an infant who has been prescribed a one-time dose of ceftriaxone (rocephin) 50 mg/kg im. the infant weighs

RideAnS [48]

The nurse should administer 0.8 mL ceftriaxone IM.

<h3>How to calculate the value?</h3>

Determine the infant's weight in kg: 2.2 lb / x kg

= weight in lb / 1 kg; 2.2 lb / x kg = 17.6 lb / 1 kg.

Cross multiply and x = 8 kg

Find total of one-time dose:

Amount prescribed x kg weight (mg x kg)

= total daily dose; 50 mg x 8 kg = 400 mg

What is the dose needed?

Dose needed = Desired; Desired = 400 mg

What is the dose available?

Dose available = Have; Have = 500 mg

Set up an equation using knowledge about basic equivalents.

Desired x Quantity / Have

= Amount to be given; 400 mg x 1 mL / 500 mg = x mL; 400 x 1

= 400 ÷ 500 = 0.8 mL
