A 22-year-old woman has arrived at the ER complaining of abdominal pain for 3 days worsening over the last 12 hours. The triage note was as follows: “Complaining of abdominal pain x 3 days worse today. No nausea or vomiting, eating, and drinking fine. Comfortable at triage. Last menstrual period 7 days ago–normal.” The patient left without being seen after waiting in the waiting room for 2 hours. The patient went to another ER and a urinalysis indicated a urinary tract infection and the patient was treated and released What is your critique of the documentation of the first triage nurse that saw this patient? What are your views about the patient waiting for 2 hours with no reassessment? What patient data was missing from the original triage assessment and why would a patient complaint be supported against the original triage nurse?
