Hi Robyn!
Great question! From what I can tell, it depends on the inpatient setting (i.e. hospital, SNF, etc) and, even then, there are not specific guidelines. For these situations, we are directed to each individual state’s practice act and the policies of the facility.
Please check out this link referencing the APTA and see if this answers your question!
