if i continue reading in the same article: [color=dimgray]...patients whose conditions are urgent, those who have chest pain for example, can ring the triage nurses to make [immediately contact]... the traige questions has to be simple human behavior-language, no nursing-language (jargon). "difficulty breathing" instead of "severe respiratory distress".

[color=dimgray]"staff in one [emergency deparment] unit in new york try to overcome [subjective nature of triage] by encouraging self triage. on arrival, patients are offered forms, which they can complete with their names, personal details, and brief descriptions of why they have attended. they can then time stamp them and post them to the triage room. these forms are available in various languages and, although they contain only tick boxes to indicate categories of injuries or illnesses, they also allow patients to suggest categories of their own, in their own words. by reading them, triage nurses can review quickly who they have in the waiting room." boag, brian (2007). nursing in new york. emergency nurse, vol 15, issue 3 p14-17. does anyone know which hospital in new york is meant in this article? do you use self-triage in your hospital? let me know and send a copy of you self-triage questions to me. thanks, friso raemaekers (er-nurse, hagahospital, the hague, the netherlands)

NOC means Nursing Outcomes Classification You have: - Nursing Diagnoses - Nursing Interventions Classification - Nursing Outcomes Classification I want to know how you register the outcomes. How are you evaluate the care? I am sorry for my bad American / English writing.

Hi Everybody, How are you measuring the outcomes (NOC) in nursing practice? Have you got an example-form for me; if you use a computerprogram: Can you make a 'printscreen'? (Press 'PrtSc' - and 'paste' in "Paint"); or discribe it.You can use the PM-system. I'm curious how you practice nursing in America and elswhere. Because more than half of the books we had to buy for school was coming from America or a translation of American books. Thanks, from the Netherlands
