Revised Code of Washington (RCW) (Last Updated: August 9, 2016)

Section 18.88A.200. Delegation of nursing care tasks—Legislative finding.

Latest version.

The legislature recognizes that nurses have been successfully delegating nursing care tasks to family members and auxiliary staff for many years. The opportunity for a nurse to delegate to nursing assistants qualifying under RCW 18.88A.210 may enhance the viability and quality of health care services in community-based care settings and in-home care settings to allow individuals to live as independently as possible with maximum safeguards.
