Scope Of Practice
The Scope of practice is influenced by many factors.
The scope of practice of a registered nurse is dependent on their education, experience and role. Nurses are determined to protect the health of ourselves and others through education, care, and cooperation with other experts.
Scopes of practice are the same for every nurse at a basic level. However it will be very different by specialty level, for examples, Pediatrics, ICU, OR, ER, Telemetry, etc.
I would say, if we have a question about something, find answer for the question. If we are uncomfortable with something we planned to do, maybe that is not in our scope of practice.
It is always better to hesitate, ask ourself these questions and check with someone else before we commit
