Every other rule we have verified under rn / np scope for injectables, each linked to its primary source.
Licensed health care providers a physician may direct to administer modalities include physical therapists, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, physician assistants, chiropractors, athletic trainers and occupational therapists, the last with restrictions on advanced modalities.
N.J.A.C. 13:35-6.14(a) · verified Aug 17, 2026
Where the modality is administered by a licensed provider rather than an aide, the physician must still examine the patient, determine the appropriate modality, satisfy themselves as to that provider’s qualifications, and supervise properly. Delegating to a licensed person lowers none of those duties.
N.J.A.C. 13:35-6.14(c) · verified Aug 17, 2026
A physician must have due regard for the specialized training and experience of registered physical therapists, physiatrists and orthopedists, and an injury or disease requiring prolonged treatment should normally be referred out rather than kept in-house if the doctor is not administering it personally.
