5224.0250 UNLICENSED "NURSES."

Nurses' aides, domestics, and other unlicensed individuals who continue to classify themselves as practical nurses are, in general, insufficiently trained or equipped to render professional or semiprofessional "nursing." Their services are normally those expected of household workers, servants, and domestics, for example, bathing the individual, combing the individual's hair, reading, arranging bedding and clothing, preparing or serving meals, and occasionally giving oral medication left in their custody. The status of these persons is determined pursuant to part 5224.0080, domestic service.
