In short
- Do only the tasks on the client’s service plan.
- Help with medicine only the way the plan allows; never decide the dose, and never do wound care beyond simple first aid.
- Do a health-related task only after your supervisor confirms the paperwork is on file and you are trained for that client.
- Record every visit: your time in and out and the tasks you did.
- Tell your supervisor the same day about any new task request, change in the client’s condition, or safety concern.
