Question
Does a registered nurse require a special certification to perform infusion therapy, phlebotomy, or laboratory tests?
Answer
The nursing laws and rules do not require a registered nurse to get a special certification to perform infusion therapy, phlebotomy, or laboratory tests. The registered 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.
