This article reveals the importance of a triage throughout emergency departments. It emphasizes how critical they are due to a major problem the ER faces, overcrowding. This resource will be helpful because it will allow me to further my knowledge on how nurses differentiate patients based off of their severity. In my project it will help me answer my essential question of how nurses separate patients based off of their physical/mental state. Without a triage, emergency departments would be overflowed with patients and the staff would be extremely stressed and unable to perform their jobs to their fullest abilities.
