Description
<p>The scope of emergency nursing practice involves the assessment, analysis, nursing diagnosis, outcome identification, planning, implementation of interventions, and evaluation of human responses to perceived, actual or potential, sudden or urgent, physical or psychosocial problems that are primarily episodic or acute, and which occur in a variety of settings. These may require minimal care to life-support measures; patient, family, and significant other education; appropriate referral and discharge planning; and knowledge of legal implications. Emergency patients are people of all ages with diagnosed or undiagnosed problems of varying complexity. Emergency nurses also interact with and care for individual, families, groups and communities. Emergency nursing practice is independent and collaborative in nature. The practice of emergency nursing also includes the delivery of compassionate, competent care to consumers through education, research and consultation. </p>
