15 Miss. Code. R. 12-31-8.12.2
Current through December 10, 2024
Because the Paramedic's primary responsibility is to respond to emergency situations outside the hospital, they cannot be utilized to replace any members of the hospital emergency service area staff but may be utilized to support and assist the staff in the care of patients in accordance with their performance standards. Since their scope of practice is limited to a number of specific procedures, which can only be performed under the direction of a physician, all emergency patients clearly require nursing intervention in order to ensure that all the patients' needs are met.
