| description | It is to be hoped that much more attention should be drawn toward properly constructing scenarios to ensure the accuracy of the decisions made by triage nurses, because there is a history of poorly-constructed scenarios in previous research, leading to biases in their results. Consequently, scenarios are expected to meet the main criteria for a triage, such as demographic characteristics, major complaints, vital signs and accompanying symptoms, and physical examinations, to simulate what nurses might encounter in triaging a real patient. Moreover, further studies are suggested to report mistriage, including undertriage and overtriage rates. |
