By Sheila Wheeler, RN, MS McGraw-Hill, 2009

Order this book on line from Amazon

Written by Sheila Wheeler, one of the world’s leading experts in telephone triage, this working decision support reference provides the guidelines nurses need for the safe, effective, and fast disposition of 1,000+ health related problems by telephone.

Organized by site and written in lay language, the guidelines eliminate the extra step of “translating” in lay language home treatment, first aid, or self-assessment instructions. A solid nursing process-based strategy incorporates the critical thinking skills. This critical thinking process mimics how nurses naturally solve problems in “real world” situations.
