1.
following the exact instructions of the RN in the performance of all authorized
procedures;
2. notifying the
employer or the RN when the health status of the person receiving assistance
changes so the RN can reassess to determine whether or not the procedures can
still be performed by the direct service worker in a safe manner;
3. notifying the employer or the registered
nurse when the prescribed procedures or medications or dosages change so
additional person-specific training can be conducted by the RN if applicable;

placed against him/her on the Direct Service Worker Registry.
