Description

"American Journal of Nursing (AJN) Book of the Year Award 2009 in the category of Maternal and Child Health" This telephone triage book provides nurses with clear guidance on assessing and advising patients over the telephone on topics related to obstetric and gynecology. The introductory section outlines the key medical/legal, counseling, and practical aspects of telephone triage and includes a new chapter on the use of online information retrieval. Subsequent sections present specific protocols for a wide variety of obstetric, gynecologic, and women's health problems that the triage nurse might need to work through. New and expanded protocols in this edition include updated infertility management and medications, additional contraceptive methods such as NuvaRing and Implanon, current abnormal Pap smear management, hormone therapy advice, and emergency contraception options.
