Coordinators, Program Managers,

At your institution. If a patient is a JW who is responsible for placing the Identifying "No Blood" bracelet on the patients wrist? Would it be the Nurse on the floor or the admitting representative who 1st identified the patient by religous preference as "No Blood"?

Is placing a no blood bracelet on a patient by an admitting representative making a clinical decision that only nursing can make?

I'm new as a coordinator and my manager who worked on the policies is no longer with my hospital so any assistance you can give me would gladly be appreciated.
