A CMT is licensed by the Maryland board of Nursing to administer medications in Maryland.

• A. TRUE
• B. FALSE
• C. Not applicable
• D. Unknown

Answer: (B)

In Maryland, the authority to administer medications lies with licensed nurses, and the state board that licenses nurses does not issue a separate license for a Certified Medication Technician. A CMT may be trained to assist with medications, but they do not have independent licensing to administer meds. They work under the supervision of a licensed nurse (RN or LPN) and must follow facility policies and state regulations. So the statement that a CMT is licensed by the Maryland Board of Nursing to administer medications is not accurate.
