(b) For hospitals with (twenty-five) 25 licensed beds or less, a CRNA may administer anesthetics without physician supervision if the CRNA's practice is otherwise consistent with the medical staff bylaws. (c) The medical staff shall designate those individuals qualified to administer anesthetics and shall delineate what each individual is qualified and approved to do.
