(1) It is the intent of the Legislative Assembly that the Oregon State Board of Nursing adopt by rule, subject to ORS 678.155, standards that allow a nursing assistant in a long term care facility to administer noninjectable medication under the direct supervision of or as delegated by a registered nurse.
(2) If a nurse employed by the long term care facility questions the efficacy, need or safety of continuation of medications dispensed by that nurse or by another employee of the facility to a patient, the nurse shall report that question to the physician or nurse practitioner who ordered or authorized the medication and shall seek further instructions concerning the continuation of the medication.
