It is not within the scope of practice of the registered nurse to teach IV skills and/or injection of an IV contrast agent to a RDCS, medical assistant, nursing assistant or other unlicensed individual. Furthermore, the registered nurse may not delegate such interventions/tasks to the RDCS, medical assistant, nursing assistant or other unlicensed individual or supervise, in any capacity, the RDCS, medical assistant, nursing assistant or other unlicensed individual performing such interventions/tasks.
