Not sure if this is the proper location for such a question but I'm just trying to find out the answer to a grey area that wasn't really touched on in class. I know that on an ambulance, EMT-IVs are held to protocols and such concerning what medications they can and can not administer but what if they're working in a hospital setting? During one of my ER clinicals, an RN drew up a syringe of XYZ medication and instructed me to administer it to a patient via IV bolus. I complied but was it technically permissible? Are EMT-IVs allowed to administer different medications if they're given orders to do so by someone higher up on the totem pole?
