SB 829 Respiratory therapists; administration of drugs.
Introduced by: Benjamin J. Lambert III | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Health professions; respiratory therapists. Authorizes practitioners to allow respiratory therapists to administer drugs by inhalation therapy when prescribed by a practitioner with prescriptive authority. Current authority permits respiratory therapists to administer drugs within the scope of their practice in hospitals. The administration of drugs by this method is within the scope of practice for certified respiratory therapists and is current practice in nursing homes, home health, hospice, and other residential settings. The change would codify current practice.
