2. HIPAA and Minor Volunteers

   WalldancerNIT replied to WalldancerNIT's topic in HIPAA Challenges

   What is your concern with doing BP checks and basic scrubbing? She's 2 months away from 18 and will have the same liability as any adult. I can't imagine anything changing too much with her maturity...

3. HIPAA and Minor Volunteers

   WalldancerNIT replied to WalldancerNIT's topic in HIPAA Challenges

   Great question. I have in the past and get lost in a rabbit hole of a phone tree. Once I did speak with someone and all she said was, "I don't know", not, "I'll find out". Maybe it's improved since...

10. Elevated PT, but decreased INR?

    WalldancerNIT replied to WalldancerNIT's topic in General Nursing
