Trauma nursing case scenarios

 

Nursing in the emergency department requires a wide range of skill and knowledge. One key area is in the care of the trauma patient in the ED. In order to keep my skills up to date and to review standardized trauma care with team members I created a handbook of mock trauma codes that can be practiced and reviewed.
