Can a registered nurse inject Botox or filler in Utah?
Who treats · part of The Practice Perimeter
UTAH ROUTES PRESCRIBING THROUGH THE LICENSE. Issuing a prescription for a prescription drug as an RN or LPN is listed as unprofessional conduct except under Section 58-17b, the section the rule itself names. The nursing rules name who may direct the tasks of a licensed practical nurse — an advanced practice registered nurse, a certified nurse midwife, a physician assistant, and other named practitioners —. On the medical side, the licensure-exemption rule for medical assistants places the injection of a neurotoxin or filler for cosmetic purposes outside what that exemption covers.
