SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Registered nurses; delegation to conduct physical examinations of children. Provides an exemption to the medical practice act authorizing physicians of medicine and osteopathy or nurse practitioners to delegate to registered nurses under their supervision the authority to screen and test children for elevated blood-lead levels when such tests are conducted in accordance with a written protocol between the physician or nurse practitioner and the registered nurse and in compliance with the Board of Health's regulations promulgated pursuant to §§ 32.1-46.1 and 32.1-46.2. Any follow-up testing must be done at the direction of a physician or a nurse practitioner. This bill is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying Lead Poisoning Prevention. In other states where this delegation is authorized, the elevated blood-lead screening is more effectively implemented. In addition, the screening may cost less than when conducted by a physician.
