Scope of Practice - Rho(D) Immune Globulin administration (LPN / MA)

Hi again!
One more question for the group...

Who is permitted (or restricted) from administering Rho(D) Immune Globulin in the ambulatory / outpatient clinic space?

Do you require RN administration?
Is this within the scope of practice for an LPN?
(...We recognize that this scope of practice for LPNs could differ from state to state, but are still interested)
Are Medical Assistants permitted to administer Rho(D) Immune Globulin?

Thanks so much in advance for your response!
Emily
