This would be an allowable authorized task under Basic Personal Care (PC) self-administration of medications. As noted in Policy 3.20 , taking medications to a participant, including medication for nebulizers, so that the participant may self-administer their medications is considered an appropriate authorization of units for that purpose. The aide may carry and setup the equipment, open the medication packaging, place the medication into the nebulizer (prepackaged only), steady the participant’s hand during the treatment and clean the equipment as needed. Starting the machine must be performed by the participant as it constitutes administration of medication. The same parameters apply regardless of service setting.
