Latest version.

A. The nurse practitioner shall include on each prescription written or dispensed his signature and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) number, when applicable.

B. The nurse practitioner shall disclose to patients at the initial encounter that he is a licensed nurse practitioner. Such disclosure may be included on a prescription pad or may be given in writing to the patient.

C. The nurse practitioner shall disclose, upon request of a patient or a patient's legal representative, the name of the patient care team physician and information regarding how to contact the patient care team physician.
