Book excerpt: A Practical Guide for Support Worker in Home Setting describes some delegated procedures which currently are performed often by unregulated care providers (PSW and HCA) in community and home setting. These procedures are included: intermittent catheterization of urinary bladder, monitoring blood glucose level, administering insulin, promotion oxygenation, etc. These procedures are performed also by regulated healthcare professionals (RN, RPN). Some delegated procedures performed by PSW and HCA separately or together with regular home support work (showering, dressing, walking assistance, etc.) can significantly reduce the total time and cost of nursing and support service in home setting.
