00:01 So, let's summarize this topic. 00:03 So, there are several character traits that are really important as a professional nurse and to be honest, the public expects it, so, be familiar with those. 00:11 Next, don't forget your scope of practice. 00:13 This is what we are bound to by law and we are definitely legally obliged to follow these. 00:19 And don't forget that we have nurse practitioners that can prescribe medications. 00:24 Physicians can prescribe medications but an RN cannot prescribe medications. 00:30 I hope that made things a little bit clear for you on delegation, prescription authority and professional nursing practice. Thank you.
The lecture Management of Care: In a Nutshell (Nursing) by Samantha Rhea, MSN, RN is from the course Management of Care (Nursing).
It is within which health care provider's scope of practice to prescribe medications?
