To fill the medical gap caused by the departure of medical residents, starting from the 8th, nurses will also be able to administer CPR and emergency drugs to emergency patients.

On the 7th, the Ministry of Health and Welfare released the Guidelines for Supplementary Projects Related to Nursing Duties.

The shortage of medical residents has led the government to authorize nurses to undertake some of the duties of doctors in a pilot project.

Supplementary guidelines have been prepared in response to requests for a clear medical fieldwork range and legal protection reassessment.

In particular, the guidelines provided clear instructions for nurses to perform 98 treatment support actions across 10 areas, such as identifying health problems, conducting examinations, and providing treatment.

Through this, nurses will be able to perform various other actions, excluding the five prohibited actions specified by the Supreme Court precedents such as death diagnosis, X-ray photography, proxy surgery, general anesthesia, prescription of specialist drugs, etc.

These guidelines apply to nurses in general hospitals and training hospitals where medical residents belong. The Ministry of Health and Welfare plans to monitor this pilot project and push for institutionalization in the future.
