在过去的十年里，非紧急使用急诊室的情况有所增加。缺乏资源、获得护理的机会、医疗保险和知识都可能导致急诊科的不适当使用。反过来，病人数量的增加将增加那些需要紧急治疗的人的等待时间。通过向病人和家属提供有关如何正确使用急诊科或在需要时到哪里寻求治疗的出院教育，可以加强急诊护士的作用。这种教育有可能显著减少重复就诊的次数，以及对急诊室的滥用。本文旨在探讨急诊环境下出院教学对患者及家属的重要性。
Non-emergent use of the emergency department has grown over the past decade. Lack of resources, access to care, medical insurance, and knowledge can all contribute to the inappropriate use of the emergency department. In return, the increase in the number of patients will then add to the wait time for those who need emergent treatment. The role of the emergency nurse can be enhanced by providing discharge teaching to patients and families about the proper use of the emergency department or where to seek treatment if needed. This education has the potential to significantly reduce the number of repeat visits, as well as misuse of the emergency department. The purpose of this article is to discuss the importance of discharge teaching for the patient and family in the ED setting.
