Nope.
I know of no state that allows RNs to independently complete physical examinations or make diagnoses.
Check the form. It probably specifies that the exam must be completed by an MD, DO, Advanced Practice RN or Certified Physician's Assistant.
Also, the person completing the exam will be required to verify the student's vaccination history. I doubt that either she or her brother have accurate records of this.
If the student is unable to make an appointment at a private practitioner's office, she can try the local health department or a walk-in clinic.
Not to mention that it is creepy for an adult man to be examining his high school aged sister.

OK. One is a BSN, RN and his sister is a high school student. His sister is in need of a physical exam to submit the results to her high school. She asks him to do a general physical assessment report so that she can turn it into the high school in time. Is it lawful to do so?
