We do not obtain a separate consent but I document in the progress notes what teaching was done and what written materials were given. We then state that the patient gave verbal consent and wishes to proceed with chemotherapy administration.

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.
