Is the charge nurse allowed to run 3 patients on the floor at the same time as being charge?
Please refer to question 5. In addition to the above, The RN charge nurse must also examine additional variables which may include but are not limited to the question-would any other reasonable prudent nurse be able to effectively: delegate to and supervise the number of CNA-DTs present performing dialysis; assess and monitor all of the patients receiving dialysis; provide direction and supervision to other licensed nursing staff; and perform all other charge nurse responsibilities.
