2018-03-08

15. A specialized nurse practitioner must request the intervention of the partner physician in the following cases:

(1)  the care required by the patient exceeds the nurse’s skills or area of care or is intended for a clientele of another specialty;

(2)  the signs, symptoms or results of diagnostic examinations indicate that the patient’s state of health has deteriorated, and the nurse is no longer able to ensure the follow-up;

(3)  the results expected from the therapy have not been obtained or the therapeutic target has not been achieved, as the case may be, and the patient does not respond to the usual treatment.

In a request for intervention made to the partner physician, the specialized nurse practitioner must state the reason for the request and specify its degree of urgency and the type of intervention desired. After the intervention of the partner physician, the nurse must perform the activities within the limits of the medical treatment plan determined by that physician.
