Abstract
Obstetric triage often occurs within the perinatal department as opposed to an emergency room. Women presenting to triage may need immediate intervention or require extensive assessment and specialty consultation. It is crucial for obstetric triage nurses to understand and comply with the regulations from the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA). Delays in a timely response, improper follow-up to laboratory tests, or failure to communicate a sense of urgency to the physician can jeopardize maternal–fetal safety and increase the liability risk for the nurse.
