I am not trained in any nursing procedures yet I am expected to do a daily g-tube feeding on a child in my class. I have found all sorts of laws about MR/DD personnel not being authorized to do g-tube feeding unless they are supervised and a nurse delegates the task to them after they have been certified. As a teacher, am I considered MR/DD personnel even though I'm not employed by the local board of MR/DD but I provide services to student with MR in my class? I don't want to do anything illegal and my school district is not forthcoming with information and training on the subject. I feel like a nurse should be administering the feeding because I have no idea what to do if things go wrong!!! I could use some legal advice from a special ed teacher. Thanks!!!
