What additional authorities does Bill 179 give NPs?
Additional authorities for NPs will include: applying a prescribed form of energy; setting or casting a fracture of a bone or dislocation of a joint; and dispensing, selling, compounding or broadly prescribing drugs in keeping with the regulations. The Bill will also remove the current restrictions on the types of x-rays that NPs can order, enabling them to order any x-ray or CT scan as appropriate for client care. The College will establish regulations and standards of practice related to performing these controlled acts.
