The telephone plays a crucial role in modern healthcare, and timely and accurate triage is more important than ever as cost and access concerns drive consumers to seek guidance on the urgency of medical issues. Nurses, using systematic telephone triage protocols, can confidently and consistently address these inquiries, helping to optimize care and reduce unnecessary expenses.
This seventh edition of Telephone Triage Protocols for Nurses reflects recent advancements, updating existing protocols and introducing new ones to meet the demands of today’s healthcare landscape. It contains more than 200 protocols that cover a wide range of common symptoms, disorders, and medical emergencies. Health problems unique to adults, children, pregnant people, those who are chronically ill, and older adults are included. This entire text has been thoroughly revised by the authors and reviewed by experts. Among the many changes:

- Protocols address adult, pediatric, geriatric, and maternal/child and home health concerns.
- Postoperative conditions and considerations have been added to numerous protocols.
