Hello! For patients who refuse to wear an arm band and are unable or unwilling to provide confirmation of 2 identifiers, what do you have in your policies?

Document, and then do you only provide emergency/life sustaining treatment until they agree to arm band or can state identifiers? Ask them sign a waiver (competency issues!)

Thanks!
