Scope of practice in Pennsylvania

Hi all,

I work in urogynecology and recently was told that when a patient calls with pain or pessary issues regardless of whether it is up in the pelvic area, gone behind a prolapse etc it is my job and within my scope of practice to bring the patient in for a nursing visit and remove the pessary. Does anyone know if removing a pessary under these circumstances, especially where there might be a need for an Internal assessment, if this is within my scope of practice in Pennsylvania. I feel this is beyond my scope but I'd like to make sure I'm not just over reacting

    I've looked at the scope of practice listed there but it isn't specific to my question. I'll try contacting them via email or phone. Thank you!
