Research on legal attribute and legal regulation of nurses′ prescription rights / 中华医院管理杂志

With the changing spectrum of human diseases and people′s pursuit of high-quality life, the scope of medical services required of nurses keep expanding. However, the current legislation in China has not yet granted nurses the right to prescribe, and there was no specific law to regulate related issues, which will inevitably limit the development of nursing work in the extended field. Therefore, the authors explored the concept definition and legal attributes of nurses′ prescription rights from a legal perspective, and proposed to regulate them from the legislative, law enforcement, and relevant supporting institutional levels to ensure the standardized exercise of nurses′ prescription rights.
