Certified registered nurse anesthetists can select, order, and administer controlled substances for anesthesia care.
The bill amends Missouri law to allow certified registered nurse anesthetists to select, issue orders for, and administer controlled substances listed in Schedules II, III, IV, and V during anesthesia care in a licensed facility. This authority does not extend to prescribing these substances. The bill also clarifies that certified registered nurse anesthetists do not need a certificate of controlled substance prescriptive authority to exercise this authority. The changes do not affect other healthcare professionals' ability to prescribe or administer controlled substances.
