Can an intern embalm a body without supervision?

Yes, if they are licensed
No, they must be supervised
Yes, if they are an experienced intern
No, only licensed practitioners can embalm

The correct answer is: No, they must be supervised

The correct response highlights the importance of supervision during the embalming process, especially for interns. Interns, while they may have received some training, do not yet have the full qualifications or experience of a licensed embalmer. The supervision requirement is in place to ensure that all procedures are conducted according to legal and ethical standards, as well as to protect public health and safety. In New Jersey, regulations concerning mortuary practices mandate that only licensed practitioners take on the full responsibility of embalming. This ensures that any potential complications or concerns that may arise during embalming can be addressed by someone with the necessary expertise. Supervising licensed professionals guide interns through the process, ensuring they learn and adhere to best practices while also maintaining compliance with state laws.
