Specializes in psych/medical-surgical.

I don't think there is a black and white answer to this. The base is you have to be familiar with the nurse practice acts and practicing outside your scope. 

Moreover, if you haven't been trained or didn't learn in school to do something... you are setting yourself up for failure/litigation. I would be hard pressed to say that the FNP base licensure would prep you for any of that stuff. Those are all basically surgical procedures and you don't train for those in an FNP curriculum/clinical.
