Can a CAP/C Nurse or Nurse-Aide transport a child to a doctors appointment?
No. CAP/C staff may never transport a child, to any destination. CAP/C children are medically fragile, and thus for safety reasons, CAP/C staff cannot drive and care for the client simultaneously. CAP/C staff may accompany the child during transport if that child requires care during transport (e.g., the nurse needs to suction the child’s trach).
