Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Physicians receive unlimited licenses as to the entire medical field; registered nurses receive licenses which limit the services they may perform. See Ind.Code §§ 25-23-1-1.1 and 25-22.5-1-1.1. Specifically, physicians are authorized to engage in the ‘diagnosis, treatment, correction, or prevention of any disease.... ’ I.C. § 25-22.5-1-1.1. Under this statute, diagnosis is defined as the examination of ‘a patient, parts of a patient’s body, substances taken or removed from a patient’s body, or materials produced by a patient’s body to determine the source or nature of a disease or other physical or mental condition....’ I.C. § 25-22.5-l-l.l(c). Physicians are also authorized to engage in ‘the suggestion, recommendation or prescription or administration of any form of treatment, without limitation....’ I.C. § 25-22.5-1-1.1(a)(1)(B). In contrast, registered nurses are limited to make nursing diagnoses. These diagnoses must be amenable to a nursing regimen, defined as ‘preventive, restorative, maintenance, and promotion activities which include meeting or assisting with self-care needs, counseling and teaching.’ I.C. § 25-23-1-1.1(d). In addition, registered nurses are limited to treatments which are amenable to a nursing regimen. Thus, there is a significant difference in the scope of their respective diagnostic and treatment authority.””
