Article R4312-57 of the French Public Health Code

The nurse must not accept a mission of expertise in which his own interests are at stake, or those of one of his patients, one of his relatives, one of his friends or a group which usually calls upon his services, or if his independence is affected in any way whatsoever.

No one may be both expert nurse and treating nurse for the same patient.

When entrusted with a mission, the expert nurse must recuse himself if he considers that the questions put to him are foreign to nursing technique, to his knowledge, to his possibilities or that they would expose him to contravene the provisions of the present code.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R4312-57
L’infirmier ne doit pas accepter une mission d’expertise dans laquelle sont en jeu ses propres intérêts, ceux d’un de ses patients, d’un de ses proches, d’un de ses amis ou d’un groupement qui fait habituellement appel à ses services, ou si son indépendance est affectée de quelque manière que ce soit.


Nul ne peut être à la fois infirmier expert et infirmier traitant d’un même malade.


Lorsqu’il est investi d’une mission, l’infirmier expert doit se récuser s’il estime que les questions qui lui sont posées sont étrangères à la technique proprement infirmière, à ses connaissances, à ses possibilités ou qu’elles l’exposeraient à contrevenir aux dispositions du présent code.
