On April 16, 2004, the Board of Nursing revisited the issue of administration of Pitocin, Prostin E2, prostaglandid gels, Cervidil, Hemabate and Cytotec to a gravid female. The Board decided that the registered nurse, acting in accordance with the provisions of the Mississippi Nursing Practice Law, Rules and Regulations of the Board of Nursing and other Mississippi laws concerning abortion, may administer these and other medications to the gravid female provided: • The registered nurse is educated and competent in the administration of the medication, including but not limited to actions, adverse reactions, monitoring criteria and emergency management procedures; • There is a medical order for the medication; • The registered nurse administers the medications and monitors the patient according to accepted standards of practice; and • The facility has policies and procedures in place to address all aspects of this issue, including but not limited to, physician availability.
