A licensed nurse may accept and work in a position that they have the training to do and that is within their scope of practice. A Registered Nurse has the training to perform Licensed Practical Nurse and Nurse Aide functions and therefore could accept a position identified for either of these levels. However, the nurse that does so would still be required to act prudently based on their educational preparation and would be held to that standard.
Individual facility policy should dictate which member of the surgical team marks the surgical site. Although it may be preferable for the person performing the procedure to mark the site, this is not always practical. The marking of the site does not require medical decision-making and does not conflict with nursing law. Therefore, it is within the scope of practice for the licensed nurse, as a member of the surgical team, to verify and mark the correct surgical site at the time of surgery, consistent with established agency procedures.
Under assignment by the Registered Nurse or other person authorized by State law to provide supervision, it is within the Licensed Practical Nurses scope of practice to administer prescribed TB tests and to assess (21 NCAC 36.0225 (b)) the results. The Licensed Practical Nurse must receive education/training, be observed reading positive and negative tests, and demonstrate competency with validation by a licensed provider. The employing facility must have the following in place:
The RN First Assist role is within the scope of practice for the Registered Nurse in North Carolina and is commonly titled Registered Nurse First Assist (RNFA). Performance of first assistant activities in the perioperative arena, consistent with agency policy, procedures, and client informed consent, includes but is not limited to preoperative interview for a comprehensive health history, completion of a nursing physical assessment, wound exposure, retraction, hemostasis, tissue handling, dissection, harvesting veins, suturing, stapling, participating in post-op rounds, and discharge teaching. Prior to the RNFA performing these activities, the Registered Nurse must receive formal education or training in the activities; demonstrate competency in the activities; and the responsible Registered Nurse manager or administrator must validate competency (this can be direct validation or the assurance that a validation process is in place and is effective).
Note: Resources available to Registered Nurses and employers considering establishing the RNFA role include the Association of Operating Room Nurses (AORN) position statement on specific qualifications, educational preparation, and certification of the RNFA ( -resources/clinical-resources/rn-first-assistant-resources) and the North Carolina Board of Nursing Scope of Practice Decision Tree for the Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurse.
Agency policy would dictate the answer to this. However, late entries should be dated for the date the entry is made and noted as being a late entry for the date of the event. The information must be truthful and not fabricated for purposes of receiving payment or being in compliance with regulation.
Licensed nurses may provide patients with limited quantities of prescribed medication which has been pre-labeled and prepackaged (e.g., starter packs) by the pharmacist or samples supplied by the manufacturer.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CHARGE this committee directed it to "investigate current practices under which each type of allied health personnel obtains licenses, credentials, and accreditation" (Appendix A, Section 223[b][3]). The committee has taken a rather broad view of this charge, interpreting it to encompass the whole array of mechanisms meant to ensure that allied health personnel are properly trained and competent to practice. These mechanisms, which include licensure and other forms of governmental regulation, voluntary certification, and standards imposed by health care providers and payers, are central to this study in that they interact with and influence virtually all of the other study issues.
For example, the scope of practice for a field that is defined under state licensing statutes and regulations affects the demand for allied health personnel by constraining how they may be used by employers. Certification, if it is accepted as a valid distinction by employers or if it is required by accrediting bodies such as the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, also affects employers' decisions to employ allied health personnel; certified and noncertified members of the same allied health field are then treated as separate labor pools. Regulatory mechanisms also influence supply by defining who may enter and remain in certain allied health fields.
A great deal is at stake here. Health care payers rely on licensure and other credentialing mechanisms to assist them in defining eligibility for coverage and reimbursement for allied health services. The various allied health occupations look to these mechanisms to give them identity and legitimacy by defining the nature and length of training, requirements for entry into the field, and the power to control certain health care practices.
In a time of great ferment in health care, these control mechanisms take on even greater significance. The proliferation of health care occupations, changing models of health care delivery, and new reimbursement methods, along with cost-control efforts by industry and government, place stresses on these controls.
To carry out this part of the congressional charge, the committee held discussions with officials of government agencies and private organizations responsible for the various control mechanisms. It also held a public hearing at which 26 allied health associations and 4 experts presented testimony; two of the experts prepared papers for the committee on state regulation of health occupations. In addition, the committee reviewed the research literature on occupational regulation.
Society applies many quality control methods to health care personnel, including allied health personnel. The states bear the greater responsibility in this control system. Through occupational licensure and other forms of regulation, states exercise their authority to protect the health, safety, and welfare of their citizens. The earliest attempts to regulate health occupations in this country were in colonial Virginia (1639), Massachusetts (1649), and New York (1665), when medical practice acts were enacted. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the Supreme Court had validated this use of the states' police powers, and most states had licensed lawyers, dentists, pharmacists, physicians, and teachers. Between 1900 and 1919, most states also licensed nurses, optometrists, osteopaths, podiatrists, and veterinarians (Carpenter, 1987). Before 1960, this list had expanded to include dental hygienists, practical nurses, and physical therapists. Since 1960, only three health occupations have come to be universally licensed: psychology, nursing home administration, and emergency medical technology. The latter two were licensed as the result of federal legislation.
Table 7-1 shows the licensure status of the 10 allied health fields on which this study concentrates as of June 1987. Among these fields, physical therapists and dental hygienists are licensed in every state. Emergency medical technicians must be certified by some agency in every state. At the other extreme is medical record administration, for which no state requires licensure; this field relies instead on certification (registration) by the American Medical Records Association. All the other fields are licensed in some states: for example, respiratory. therapists are licensed in 7 states, audiologists and speech-language pathologists in 37.
