Concerning nursing delegation.
SB 6107 clarifies when registered nurses in Washington can delegate tasks to nursing assistants or home care aides. It prohibits delegating medication administration (except for specific insulin injections under strict supervision), tasks requiring substantial skill, or procedures involving tissue piercing. Nurses must verify the delegatee's competency, assess patient stability, and ensure the patient has a "stable and predictable condition" before delegating. This directly affects nurses, nursing assistants, home care aides, and patients in home or community care settings (like assisted living or in-home care), but excludes acute care facilities.
