A. General information

1. Emergency nursing deals with human responses to any trauma or sudden illness that requires immediate intervention to prevent imminent
severe damage or death
2. Care is provided in any setting to persons of all ages with actual or perceived alterations in physical or emotional health.
3. Initially, patients may not have a medical diagnosis.
4. Care is episodic when patients return frequently, primary when it is the initial option for health or preventive care, or acute when patients
need immediate and additional interventions.
5. Emergency nursing is a specialty area of the nursing profession like no other.
6. Emergency nurses must be ready to treat a wide variety of illnesses or injury situations, ranging from a sore throat to a heart attack.

B. Historical Development of Emergency Nursing

1. Florence Nightingale was the first emergency nurse, providing care to the wounded in the Crimean War in 1854
2. The Emergency Department Nurses Association (EDNA) was organized in 1970
3. A competency-based examination, first administered in 1980, provides Certification in Emergency Nursing; certification is valid for 4 years
4. EDNA developed Standards of Emergency Nursing Practice, published in 1983, to be used as a guideline for excellence and outcome criteria
against which performance is measured and evaluated
5. In 1985, the Association name was changed to Emergency Nurses Association (ENA), recognizing the practice of emergency nursing as role-
specific rather than site-specific.
6. Originally ENA aimed at teaching and networking, the organization has evolved into an authority, advocate, lobbyist, and voice for
emergency nursing. It has 30,000+ members and continues to grow, with members representing over 32 countries around the world.

Emergency Care Environment

1. Prehospital care by emergency medical services (EMS), emergency medical technicians, and paramedics provides initial stabilizations and
transport of patients; personnel communicate with the emergency department during patient transport
2. The national emergency telephone number 911 is the result of an effort to improve access to EMS
3. The concept of the emergency room has expanded to that of the emergency department, which provides various levels of care
4. Specialized electronic technology and techniques are used to monitor patient status continuously; these may pose safety hazards to patients,
such as possible exposure to electric shock

C. Triage

1. Triage classifies emergency patients for assessment and treatment priorities

2. Triage decisions require gathering objective and subjective data rapidly and effectively to determine the type of priority situation present
 3. Emergent situations are potentially life-threatening; they include such conditions as respiratory distress or arrest, cardiac arrest, severe chest
pain, seizures, hemorrhage, severe trauma resulting in open chest or abdominal wounds, shock, poisonings, drug overdoses, temperatures over
105°F (40.5°C), emergency childbirth, or delivery complications
4. Urgent situations are serious but not life-threatening if treatment is delayed briefly; they include such conditions as chest pain without
respiratory distress, major fractures, burns, decreased level of consciousness, back injuries, nausea or vomiting, severe abdominal pain,
temperature between 102 and 105°F (38.9 and 40.5° C), bleeding from any orifice, acute panic, or anxiety
5. Nonemergency situations are not acute and are considered minor to moderately severe; they include such conditions as chronic backache or
other symptoms, moderate headache, minor burns, fractures, sprains, upper respiratory or urinary infections, or instances in which a patient is
dead on arrival

D. Roles of the Emergency Nurse

1. Care provider: provides comprehensive direct care to the patient and family.
2. Educator: provides patient and family with education based on their learning needs and the severity of the situation and allows the patient to
assume more responsibility for meeting health care needs
3. Manager: coordinates activities of others in the multidisciplinary team to achieve the specific goal of providing emergency care
4. Advocate: ensures protection of the patient’s rights

E. Functions of the Emergency Nurse

1. Uses triage to determine priorities based on assessment and anticipation of the patient’s needs
2. Provides direct measures to resuscitate, if necessary
3. Provides preliminary care before the patient is transferred to the primary care area
4. Provides health education to the patient and family
5. Supervises patient care and ancillary personnel
6. Provides support and protection for the patient and family
