Registered nurses (RNs) are generally not authorized to push medications like propofol unless they are specifically trained and have the appropriate protocols in place, such as in a critical care or anesthesia setting. The administration of propofol typically requires a qualified anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist due to its rapid onset and potential for respiratory depression. Policies may vary by institution, so it's essential for RNs to follow their facility's guidelines and protocols regarding medication administration.
