Is it illegal for a nurse practitioner to put stitches in a wound without looking at the x-ray?
No. It would be impossible and counterproductive for the law to dictate how medical procedures should occur.
However, if failure to first examine the X-ray led to medical injury, and a normal nurse of average prudence and experience would have first examined the x-ray, there may be a case for malpractice.
Added: Nurse Practitioners ARE licensed to suture wounds. X-rays do not reveal soft-tissue damage. Unless it was suspected that there was some kind of embedded object in the wound, or that a bone may have been affected, an X-Ray would reveal nothing of use to a practitioner stitching a wound to the flesh closed.
