In NJ they have to be med techs. In facilities, meds are in blister packs. Easier to keep records of.
A nurse can dispense medication written by a doctor.
A Med Tech or Medical Assistant or CNA can give drugs while working "under" a doctor's license (supervision), usually in the same facility with them.
I don't believe you can dispense them (take them out of the pill bottles, put them in a little cup and put them in her mouth.) But, I *believe* you can hand her the little cup, that the husband has filled and she can swallow them. If SHE takes them then you haven't "given" them. If you pour them into her mouth, then you have "given" them.
That's how I understand it.
