Providing written copies of the testimony to each committee member ensures that all members receive the same information and can refer back to it later. Professional terminology should be used, but also explained for the benefit of those who may not be familiar with the healthcare field.

Referring questions to an expert may not be necessary if the nurse is knowledgeable on the topic, but can be done if needed.
