Treatment and Evaluation
When a patient enters a treatment room, the nurse will continue evaluating the illness or injury by asking further questions, checking physical condition and beginning the test process, such as X-rays and blood tests. As soon as they are available, one of our emergency physicians or nurse practitioners will examine you. Although some of their questions may seem similar to the nurse’s questions, it is important for the physician or nurse practitioner to develop his/her own evaluation of your illness or injury. Following the exam, additional tests or treatments may be ordered.
