Can the licensed practical nurse perform bladder instillation therapy?

It is within the scope of practice of an appropriately prepared and competent licensed practical nurse to perform bladder instillation therapy under the direction of an authorized health care practitioner, or under the direction and supervision of the registered nurse, following clinical practice standards. Examples include instillation of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), chemotherapy (e.g. Mitomycin C), and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (immunotherapy) drugs. There must be an order from an authorized provider. The licensed practical nurse should use the Scope of Practice Decision Tree to determine if these activities are within the nurse's legal and individual scope of practice.
