Are nurse prescribers able to give directions to a non-prescriber for the administration of a medicine ?
Yes, a qualified nurse prescriber may give directions for the administration of any product they are legally allowed to prescribe (ie a product that is included in the relevant nursing formulary or on the Clinical Management Plan). The prescribing nurse will clearly need to be satisfied that the person to whom s/he gives the instructions is competent to administer the medicine concerned.
