Amphetamine (amphetamine and methamphetamine) is one of the SAMHSA-5, the five drugs tested for in U.S. government-approved basic drug tests. Amphetamines are standardly detectable in urine for 1-3 days after use. Methamphetamines stay in the system slightly longer, 3-5 days. The Amphetamine test is a one step competitive immunoassay that is used to screen for the presence of amphetamine in urine.
â¢ TRIAGE (noun) The noun TRIAGE has 1 sense: 1. sorting and allocating aid on the basis of need for or likely benefit from medical treatment or food. Familiarity information: TRIAGE used as a noun is very rare.
Triage is a system of sorting that is based on giving treatment first to the patients who need it most. When you are brought into Metro Health Emergency, a skilled triage nurse will conduct a brief exam. Based on this assessment, the nurse will decide what immediate steps should be taken. Ensuring you are treated based on your clinical urgency is our priority. Your triage nurse will assign you to the best treatment area for your condition. As a result, you may not be taken to a treatment area in the order of your arrival to Metro Health Emergency. You will, however, be seen as quickly as possible.
