a. True

b. False

Answer 1

Answer Option A True

The slip should indeed have the nurse’s signature and date at the bottom of the form for authorization and confirmation purposes. The nurse has the knowledge, patient know-how and is delegated and ware of the treatment and tests schedule and assessments. Therefore assistance to the nurse in not necessary as the nurse is capable and more importantly aware of the patient tests and treatment specifics so any kind of assistance or interruption in completion of the form is not recommended. The form completion is the authority and responsibility of the assigned nurse involved in the patient care.
