Implementation rates per hospital Most participants indicated that they received the DA from their urologist (n=478, 71%) and perceived that the urologist is the most suitable person to hand out a DA (n=511, 76%; Table 3). However, of the participants who received the DA from a nurse (n=192, 29%), 60% considered the nurse to be themost suitable person for this (data not shown).
