Overview

This course is designed to reinforce the knowledge and skills required for Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) and Home Health Aides (HHAs) performing delegated tasks under Florida Administrative Code 59A-18.0081 . These tasks must be taught and documented by a registered nurse and performed within clearly defined regulatory limits.

The course provides practical instruction across a range of common caregiving activities, including assisting with oxygen devices, measuring vital signs, supporting mobility, managing intake and output, assisting with glucometer use, and reinforcing dressings.
