Texas SB2669 allows podiatrists to delegate certain podiatric medical acts to advanced practice registered nurses.
Texas SB2669 amends the Occupations Code to allow podiatrists to delegate certain podiatric medical acts to advanced practice registered nurses. This includes delegating the performance of minor procedures, overseeing clinic operations, and conducting preoperative and postoperative assessments and medication management. The delegation must be in accordance with nursing board rules and written protocols. The bill also establishes that a podiatrist is not liable for acts performed by an advanced practice registered nurse unless they have reason to believe the nurse lacked competency.
