Emergency Patient Categories How should an emergency medical doctor categorize the condition of a patient? * Undetermined: Patient or resident is awaiting physician and/or assessment. * Good: Vital signs are stable and within normal limits. Patient or resident is conscious and comfortable. Indicators are excellent. * Fair: Vital signs are stable and within normal limits. Patient or resident is conscious, but may be uncomfortable. Indicators are favorable. * Serious: Vital signs may be unstable and not within normal limits. Patient or resident is acutely ill. Indicators are questionable. * Critical: Vital signs are unstable and not within normal limits. Patient or resident may be unconscious. Indicators are unfavorable. What else should an emergency medical doctor be able to answer? What is the diagnosis? How did you reach this diagnosis? What is the treatment? |
