What Are the Responsibilities of the Nurse When Witnessing a Signature?
A nurse has several responsibilities when it comes to witnessing a signature:
Ensure that the person signing the document understands its content and implications. Verify the identity of the person signing the document, often by checking a valid identification. Confirm that the person is signing voluntarily, without any form of coercion or undue pressure. Sign the document as a witness and include the date and time of the signature.
