Moquin B et al. - Nurse licensure considers herbals as medications, yet physicians refuse to prescribe them, and nurses (or certified med techs) cannot administer them. In some states, “alternative practitioners” are not viewed as legal prescribers. Undaunted, residents (or their families) purchase alternative “medicines” that are contraindicated by their traditional medical regimen. Secreted in their room, nurses are unaware of the stash and the self-administrating practice.
