Question
Can the licensed practical nurse remove a Strut Assisted Volume Implant (SAVI) applicator device?
Answer
The Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission determines it is beyond the scope of the licensed practical nurse to remove a SAVI® applicator device. The licensed practical nurse may assist an authorized health care practitioner or the registered nurse to remove the device, following clinical practice standards. 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
