One purpose of the BON’s position statements and guidelines is to provide

guidance to nurses with regard to carrying out orders from Physician Assistants (PAs).

Explanation:

It should be understood that the Physician assistance, PAs may provide medical aspects of care, including ordering or prescribing medications and treatments, as delegated by a physician consistent with laws, rules and regulations.

It should be noted also that a physician is not required to be present at all times at the location where the PA is providing care and orders are not required to be countersigned by the physician.

Therefore, a nurse may carry out or execute these orders. And , the nurse must seek clarification if he/she believes the order or treatment is inaccurate, non-efficacious or contraindicated, by consulting with the PA and physician as appropriate.

In conclusion, BON simply means Board of Nursing.
