CODE BLUE IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM
Dear nurses,
Hope you had a good July 4th.
Above is an example of a Code Blue in an
Emergency Room. The nurse has an important
role in effective communication.
The responsibilities are numerous:
- staying calm in a chaotic situation
- giving clear instructions to coworkers
and many more. The nurse becomes the
" binding force".
What is the role of the Triage nurse?
which patient is critical and needs immediate attention
when working in the ER.
When taking care of a patient who has experienced a
traumatic event, the nurse should consider how to
explain to the patient and family what is being done.
If possible, get help from other staff members.
