An Act To Authorize Licensed Nurse Practitioners And Registered Nurses To Administer Fluids Containing Vitamins For The Purpose Of Improving A Person's Immune Health Through Intravenous (iv) Therapy In A Clinical Setting; To Provide That There Is No Limit On The Number Of Vitamins That May Be Administered By A Nurse Practitioner Or Registered Nurse At Any One Time; To Provide That The Vitamins Administered By A Nurse Practitioner Or Registered Nurse Do Not Have To Be Prepared By A Compound Pharmacy; And For Related Purposes.

AI Summary

This bill would authorize licensed nurse practitioners and registered nurses in Mississippi to administer intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy in clinical settings with the specific goal of improving patients' immune health. The legislation would permit these healthcare professionals to administer an unlimited number of vitamin-containing fluids through IV, and notably, these vitamins would not be required to be prepared by a compounding pharmacy. By expanding the scope of practice for nurses, the bill aims to provide more flexible options for immune health treatments, allowing nurses to directly administer vitamin infusions without some of the previous restrictions. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, giving healthcare facilities and nursing boards time to prepare for the new regulations. The proposed law represents a broadening of nurses' clinical capabilities, potentially offering patients more accessible immune health interventions in medical settings.
