#225 To Mr. Doubt
Caregivers are not supposed to stick "needles" in clients' bodies, I think the company has to get permission from the family since it is a company directive.
In the company I used to work for, we were not allowed to cut toenails, we were not allowed to take blood pressure, and
for those who needed their blood sugar checked, we provided all the equipment, and the client did the needle sticking, and we assisted them with that. This was before, so it may be different. If you are a caregiver who is a LVN or higher, you should have no problem drawing blood.
When it comes to the medical level of caregiving work, how far you are allowed to go ？ is a gray area that varies from company to company,
I can understand your anxiety, thank you for your time.

NONTOKA Yes, that's right.
I am in charge of several clients, one of whom points the needle himself to measure his blood sugar.
The other one I found out the first time I had to stick the needle in when I went to the site on the first day.
(The agent informed me that I was not informed of anything. )
I was in the mood to be there and had to do it, and eventually, to this day.
I don't understand why it's not OK to put medicine directly into the mouth, not OK to clip nails, but OK to stick needles in them? I don't understand why this is so.
If it's okay to stick needles in, then it's a bit of a trick, and I was told nothing but, "This one's easy to take care of." The only thing I was told was that I was in disbelief.
In the end, I found out later that it was not only about the needles, but also that this client was a difficult person and that the care givers were interchangeable.

Agents don't give me too much inhomation when I have a difficult client. Families are good, they say the work is easy to do,
and when they actually start, problems arise.

Even though I have been a caregiver for many years, difficult clients are sometimes impossible.

• It’s a job.

It's exhausting because you put too much emotion into it

That's the benefit of non-family members taking care of them

So sometimes people who are too enthusiastic are also a nuisance to the family.
