“May mga gawain ang mga nurses na nurse lang ang pwede,” PHAPI president Rene Jose De Grano mentioned.
(There shall be procedures that solely registered nurses shall be allowed to do.)
“Halimbawa magbibigay ng gamot ng IV pagbibigay through intravenous root hindi pwedeng gawin yan ng iba,” De Grano said.
“Pero halimbawa kukuha lang blood pressure kukuha ng mga pulse rate ganun, sayang, kaya po yan ng ating mga nate-train na mga underboard nurses at saka nursing attendant pero still under the direct supervision at chine-check po yan ng mga registered nurse,” he added.
