OK, not sure what section to put this in so if its wrong, i'm sorry.
NOT IN AN EMERGENCY SETTING!!!
I was wondering if an EMT-B can dispense prescription medications under physicians orders on the bottle like in a nursing home environment or similar... NOT IN AN EMERGENCY, NOT IN THE FIELD... I understand the scope of practice for EMT in the field, but it was never discussed in a different setting. I remember 10 or so years ago, I worked in a nursing home, there was an EMT who was delivering the meds... So i "think" its ok... but now that I am in that position, I just want to make sure. I have searched the internet and can't find anything about it... If it makes any difference, I am in Michigan. Thanks in advance for help!!
