Question
What training about POLST is available for nursing assistants and unlicensed assistive personnel?
Answer
The Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) and POLST stakeholders have developed a short training video for home care aides and other bedside caregivers. The video includes instruction on how these staff should respond when they find a resident who is nonresponsive. This video will be part of a continuing education program which DSHS plans to approve in 2015.
