At my facility there is a nurse that has been given a hard time regarding the AMA forms, and I was hoping to help her out with an answer to the following question. Whose legal responsiblity is it to fill out the risks/benfits portion of the AMA form, the nurse or the physician? In school we have been taught that it is ultimately the physician's responsiblity to explain the risks and benefits and fill out that portion. PLEASE HELP!!!
P.S. in the P&P manual of this facility it does not specify who should fill out this portion.
