How can nurses balance the need for quick and efficient triage with thorough patient assessments to avoid the pitfalls of under-triage and over-triage in emergency departments?



In this episode of the Transformation Nurse Academy, we dive deep into understanding the Emergency Severity Index (ESI) – a crucial triage system that categorizes patients based on the severity of their conditions and the resources they require.
