Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I am signing service agreements with home care agencies in Southern CA. Is it a regulatory requirement to hold a CPR card? I stopped renewing my CPR cert when I assessed my physical ability to perform each of the necessary steps required to attempt resuscitation and decided after much thought that I am no longer physically strong enough to perform confidently and accurately. Although I am physically fit I am a lightweight with not much muscle mass, and the aging process has taken its toll on strength. Realizing that no amt of physical exercise will change that I believe I'd be a detriment not a help therefor have no interest in performing such a procedure. Is that a deal breaker? Must I hold a credential that I strongly believe I am unable to perform to standard? It seems silly and dangerous but also all agreements I've seen so far have that as part of the RD job description.
