Rationale:
The prescribing physician is responsible for determining the indication and delegating treatment, including injectable therapies. According to Paragraph 5 of the Health Personnel Act, assistance can only be delegated to someone who is professionally qualified to perform the task. Delegation assumes that the prescriber has made a professional assessment of both the indication and the assistant's qualifications before authorizing such delegation.
