1. Apply Crisis Resource Management and teamwork (with attention to role designation, directed orders, sharing mental model and closed loop communication with team and family members).

 

2. Prioritize treatment of potential etiologies to guide stabilization or escalation of care for an infant with vomiting.

 

3. Determine the appropriate destination for transfer.
