giving and recieving report

Is there any standard or regulation for who is responsible or allowed to give and receive report on patients in the hospital setting?
RNs give other RNs report. CNAs give other CNAs report. RNs give CNAs report. So on and so on. As long as you have reason to get report you can get it, from whom ever you need to. It is your responsibility to be informed about your patients.

I'm not really sure what you're specifically asking. RNs give RNs report. If a patient is being transferred (from PACU to floor, ICU to floor, ER to floor, floor to OR, etc), the RN caring for the patient should be the one giving report. When I worked in the hospital, I used to get nurses from the ER calling to "give report" on a patient they hadn't even set eyes on before all the time because the nurse caring for the patient was on break. I get that the ER needs to move patients quickly, but it was our floor's policy that we could only accept report from the RN actually caring for the patient.

as far as form, I have seen recorded, paper reports, face-to-face, and presentation (person to the group).I just hate it when nurses sit and read the KARDEX of to you, and nothing about the patient's day, c/o, progress, lab, or new orders. I can read the KARDEX(that is half updated).

If the LPN is taking the patient, why is it a problem?mc3

Where I work anyone can give anyone report.If I am getting a patient down from recovery or from the ER I get the report from whatever nurse gives it ( I am a PN).There is no rule about report having to be given to an RN.
