'''Characteristics'''
----
The '''book of delivery menus''' is typically contained with within a binder that resembles a patient chart and is usually the exclusive right of the charge nurse to build, though he or she may let other staff indulge in the honor of building this book. It is better organized than most medical documentation, such as [[Progress Note|progress notes]] and [[Discharge Summary|discharge summaries]]. In its most impressive and complete form, the '''book of delivery menus''' is contains a preface, table of contents, chapters organized by cuisine , and a bibliography. It can include anything from burgers to pizza and Chinese food to Thai. No less than fifty menus and no less than ten menus from Mexican and/or Chinese restaurants must be present, otherwise the '''book of delivery menus''' is considered incomplete or a work in progress. In the rare event it is a work in progress, completing the '''book of delivery menus''' takes priority and precedence over anything else, especially patient care.
