I am looking for more information about pca's in the homecare setting, the company I work for does not have a policy on changing doses or starting a new bag, at this time they have the nurse go to the house and call one of the pharmacist to do the 2 person check.  I am not comfortable with this, I do not want to lose my license if something happens.  Are there any Homecare Infusion nurses out there that can give me some guidance?

Hiya, I'm not a homecare infusion nurse, but I to would be very weary about that policy. Remember, if you knew better, and you did it any way, you are liable..What I would do, is look or a CEU class on this subject and get some information to now only review your knowledge but also to find out any newer or better techniques... Best of luck to you.. Please keep us posted.. Teresa
