Non-family member. They work with some agencies that provide people to help with care when they are away. Haha, it does seem like it should be a non-issue, but they have been told by a couple places that it is a potential legal problem. Some are saying any provider can do it with a doctors orders and some are saying it is illegal for anyone but a nurse. I just don't know who to tell them to contact to get definite information.

I have a family that needs a daily administration of a glycerin suppository to their special needs child. They are trying to find out if legally a nurse is required for this or if a regular caretaker can do this. They have been receiving conflicting information from the agencies that they deal with. Is anyone clear on the laws about this in Indiana or where they can contact to find the rules about this?
