Is it safe to let a nurse administer injectables?
top If your doctor has a nurse or physician’s assistant who performs injections regularly at the physician’s office, and if you feel comfortable with the training and expertise of this nurse or PA (including an appropriate injectable training workshop), it’s your choice to have this person inject you. Make certain, however, that your injectable treatment always includes the informed-consent process; that the injector reviews your past treatment, your previous outcomes and your current state of health and goals before injecting; and that if there are any significant changes to the course of treatment you regularly have (like injecting a new area or using a new injectable), the doctor is involved in this decision.
