Requests will be gathered, reviewed and triaged <br />by the nursing staff seven (7) days a week, including holidays. <br />Emergencies will be evaluated and treated immediately. Other requests <br />will be prioritized and referred to the appropriate provider as indicated. <br />Completed request forms will be placed in the inmate's medical record. <br />E.
