NUR 3306Deliverable 3 - Ethics in Triage

Document Content and Description Below

atient 1 Pregnant female: 32-years-old, 36 weeks gestation. Presentation to the ED: alert and oriented x 3, respiratory rate at 25 breaths/minute, radial pulses palpable, complaining of abdominal pa ... in after being trampled during the event. Triaged as green. Course of treatment in the ED: Extensive resources (human and non-human) were used to assess the fetus. Both the patient and fetus survived and were discharged 24 hours later. 1. Was the triaging appropriate- provide a rational to support your answer. I think with patient one triage was not appropriate, she should have been triaged as yellow instead of green. Although she did not have open wounds, bleeding, and she was alert, there could be underlying issues involving the fetus due to the patient increased respiratory rate and abdomen pain. a. Was there evidence that personal beliefs, ER triage takes relevant ethical principles as respect for autonomy, nonmaleficence,ETHICS IN TRIAGE 3 values, and ethics affected the health care providers’ approach to triaging the patients? beneficence, and justice into decisions (Aacharya, Gastmans & Denier, 2016), I do not see evidence of personal beliefs, values, and ethics to be involved in the triage of this patient. b. Use evidence/resources to support your evaluation. Aacharya, R.P., Gastmans, C. & Denier, Y. Emergency department triage: an ethical analysis.
