Assignment problem: Meet Blythe and Kate. Blythe Seymour, RN, is working in a group practice dermatology clinic. The workload has increased, and the physicians have decided to hire another RN. When Kate, the new RN, begins her orientation, Blythe tells her she will have to learn how to use the laser machine to remove tattoos. Kate hesitates and explains that she had thought that her responsibilities included assisting the dermatologists in the tattoo removal procedure, not doing it by herself. Blythe says, "This is why we hired you. I am sure that it's OK: the doc showed me how and I can show you." Blythe and Kate continue the orientation. When Kate goes home, she sends an email to the Board of Nursing and asks if this falls within the RN scope of practice. 1. What are the clinical and medical dimensions of this situation?
