Abstract The emergency nurse should never underestimate the volume of blood that can be lost from epistaxis. It is important to be alert for respiratory obstruction or distress and vigilant for shock like symptoms. Examine for underlying disorders and seek advice from ENT specialists, monitoring vital signs. Finally, a patient with a nasal pack in situ must be admitted to hospital.
