A nursing diagnosis is a current or potential problem that the patient has that the nurse can diagnose and treat for the most part independently.

It is important for a radioisotope to have a known rate of decay in order to provide accurate dating results.

Additionally, having a stable and predictable decay process is crucial for determining the timing of past events with precision.
Typically not, both are registered nurses so they have the same authority and accountability when it comes to patient care. However some hospitals have implemented that they won't hire nurses with only an associates degree, so you'd have to look to see if that applies to your area.
