Restricted Activities Standards

This document identifies standards and expectations for performing restricted activities by registrants to ensure client safety. Restricted activities are only one component of client care. The performance of a restricted activity in the provision of client care must be performed along with

•  assessment,
•  critical thinking,
•  planning, 
•  problem solving,
•  decision-making,
•  monitoring of the client’s response, and
•  evaluation. 

These standards provide clarification and direction on the provision of restricted activities within the context of nursing practice. Registrants must practice within the limits of their own competence, perform restricted activities that are appropriate to the registrant’s area of practice, and ensure the restricted activities are performed within the context of care, in the best interests of the client.
