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.
For a typical inpatient hospital triage system, a triage nurse or physician will either field requests for admission from the ER physician on patients needing admission or from physicians taking care of patients from other floors who can be transferred because they no longer need that level of care (i.e. intensive care unit patient is stable for the medical floor).
