Logging duty

Section 678.027 prohibits a nonhuman entity from using a nursing title or abbreviation; it creates no duty for any party to keep a log, record or other documentation, and names nobody who may check one.

Research summary

Legal information, not legal advice. This is LexLint's own research summary of a public legal source, and it creates no attorney-client relationship. For decisions that matter, consult qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. About LexLint

A nonhuman entity, including but not limited to an agent powered by artificial intelligence, may not use the title or abbreviation of Advanced Practice Registered Nurse, certified registered nurse anesthetist, clinical nurse specialist, licensed practical nurse, registered nurse, nurse practitioner, certified medication aide or certified nursing assistant.

The chapter carrying this section exempts only the employment of nurses in institutions or agencies of the federal government; a state or local government entity is otherwise bound the same as a private one, so an AI system interacting with patients in a state, local or private health care setting may not present itself under any of these titles.
