Personal Care

We currently have a student that is 17 years old and weighs in excess of 400 lbs.

It is neccessary to use a lift to move him to and from his wheel chair to the table for changes, we also are asked to remove and re-administer the canula for his full time oxygen while supplying pc.

We've also been asked to emulate the work that the physical therapist uses on this student, stretching, movement of limbs with mass strictures, setting on table with lift and putting back into chair which causes the student severe strain and has set off a series of seizures.

My question, neither of us TA's has any medical training, with the 02 or PT re we required to do either under NYS regulation?
