Insertion of a Bravo PH Capsule by RNs

In December 2003, the Board responded to an opinion request asking if the insertion of a “Bravo” pH capsule is within the scope of registered nursing practice.

It was the advisory opinion of the Board that the placement of a “Bravo” pH capsule is within the scope of registered nursing practice, for the registered nurse who possesses the requisite educational preparation and current clinical competence to perform the procedure in a safe, competent manner.
