I bought this book to help guide me in writing triage protocols for the nurses in the office I work. As an experienced (former) nurse in obstetrics I found a lot of what is in this book making me want to give a big "duh!" or "no kidding, what did you think we'd be asking?"- but it's very good for a beginning nurse doing phone triage. The first section of this book includes the basics, legal considerations, and common challenges that triage nurses face.

I really like how easily this book is to read. It's designed to be able to quickly flip to the section you need. Each possible problem to be triaged starts with the pertinent questions to ask. It then breaks it down into easy to follow steps in how to properly triage the patient. Each section gives a brief rationale and/or risk factors that may influence the decisions made.

I think this book could also be used by the obstetric & gynecology nurse outside of triage as well. There is a lot of good information for nurses to use as teaching tools when meeting with women for pregnancy visits or even menopausal visits. -- Thorough & Concise
This book is very clinically based in its approach. I have not seen another triage protocol book quite like it. It is easy to adapt to your own practice and has some GREAT charts in it. Covers numerous OB and GYN topics. -- Telephone triage for Obstetrics & GYnecology
