As a regulated health professional governed by the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO), Nurse Erin is required to obtain informed consent and appropriate clinical information prior to providing any treatment. In accordance with CNO standards on Consent, Assessment, and Documentation, nurses must ensure that care is informed, safe, and based on accurate and relevant health information.

To provide the highest standard of care, patients (or their substitute decision-maker, when applicable) are required to supply essential medical details prior to the appointment. This includes identifying information such as date of birth, as well as relevant health information such as diagnoses, current medications, allergies, and other pertinent clinical history. Collecting this information allows for an accurate assessment, supports safe treatment planning, and helps identify any factors that may influence care.

If a patient has a legally appointed Power of Attorney (POA) for Personal Care or lacks capacity to provide consent, the POA or substitute decision-maker must review and sign the required consent forms on the patient’s behalf, consistent with CNO expectations regarding informed and substitute consent.

These requirements ensure that all care is delivered safely, ethically, and in full compliance with CNO professional obligations, while supporting the patient’s rights, well-being, and continuity of care.

For generally healthy nails with no pain, it is recommended to let 6 weeks pass between the last trimming and the first appointment. Appointments can be completed in a period shorter than 6 weeks with the understanding that it may be difficulty to achieve desired length and shape for healthy nails. 

At this time registered practical nurses cannot diagnose medical conditions or prescribe medications. For complex medical needs, and matters unrelated to foot care, your nurse will ask you to refer to your family doctor. Nurse Erin will only complete tasks within her medical scope.
