Explanation
Answer: A - The use of a defibrillator must be assessed and documented annually for all the registered nurses in a medical or surgical area using direct supervisory observation. The use of a defibrillator, like the use of a fire extinguisher, is a rarely used but high risk skill. These kinds of skills are often assessed and documented with simulation, rather than actual situations.
