In Washington State, Nurse Delegation allows persons needing help to take their medications to remain at home and receive the best possible care.
Without delegation, there are times when a family member or friend must help with giving medication, or an LPN or RN must be hired. If this support is not available it is possible that a nursing facility may need to be considered. Many individuals do not have family or friends who can be present to administer medications or breaks from caregiving are needed. LPN’s and RN’s are expensive to have on an hourly basis providing care and are in short supply.
Nurse Delegation offers a less expensive alternative to licensed Nursing care when medication administration is required and family members are not available or they do not wish to take on this responsibility.
