Performing laboratory procedures is a nonnursing procedure performed by the nurse in this setting. Recording electrocardiograms and administering inhalation/nebulizer therapy are other nonnursing procedures performed by the nurse in this setting. Teaching clients and families, arranging for hospital admission, and assisting with sterile procedures are nursing procedures.
