Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is a nurse's responsibility to provide emotional and physical preparation for diagnostic procedures and tests. Writing the order for the procedure or test is the responsibility of the physician or healthcare provider. Delegating care during a procedure to others may be the responsibility of the nurse, but it is not specifically related to diagnostic procedures and tests. Ensuring results of diagnostic tests are recorded may be a responsibility of the nurse, but again, it is not specific to diagnostic procedures and tests.
