In Arkansas?
The home caregivers are telling us starting the new year, they are not allowed to put on compression hose. Saying that putting them on wrong could cause blood clot. I was wondering if anyone knows if this is a new regulation in Arkansas. Or how could I find out?
It also depends on whether the person is a CNA (certified), a PCA (some training) or an HHA (no training).
Most importantly, there must be an active Rx order from an MD . Too many patients just go out and buy stockings without a professional fitting and buy the wrong level of compression.
