Auxiliary services may be performed by unlicensed persons if supervised by a licensed nurse, or directed by a medical doctor or dentist. The phrase "auxiliary patient care services" does not refer to specific tasks, and is not to be given a broad definition. It refers to acts which support or assist nursing services. Any process exceeding this function of support or assistance must be performed by a licensed nurse unless otherwise authorized by law.
