Consent for chemotherapy administration

[lkasten]

A question for my fellow oncology nurses.........do you obtain a separate written informed consent prior to the administration of Chemotherapeutic and Biologic agents on in-patients?  Or, is it considered to be included in the standard consent the patient signs at admission?  Thanks in advance for your responses.
