What are the recommendations if a business or facility does not have a registered nurse (RN) to delegate COVID-19 testing to staff?

Some businesses or facilities will not have an RN available to delegate testing to staff. For businesses or facilities without an RN, options may be to offer take-home COVID-19 rapid tests or have the patient self-test on site. Organizations should consider identifying an alternative mechanism and source of authority to conduct COVID-19 testing. The Washington State Board of Nursing (WABON) recommends that businesses/facilities consult with their legal counsel. This issue is outside the WABON’s authority.
