Question
Are there any medications that the registered nurse is not allowed to administer?
Answer
The nursing law and rule does not prohibit a competent and appropriately trained registered nurse from administering any medication – legend or controlled substance (Schedule II-IV) or over-the-counter medications. The registered nurse may administer medications by any route. The registered nurse must be competent and follow the standards for medication administration.
