I have been advised how much fluid is safe to remove as recommended in the current Renal Association Guidelines and by my individualised fluid loss regime as indicated in my medical notes. I am aware of the risks to my health if I do not follow this advice.
I now feel safe and confident to do all of the above without direct supervision. I understand that by signing this, I take responsibility for following the procedure definitions.
