Is it legal for an underage CNA student to wash genitals of people over the age of 18? I apologize for the rather embarrassing question, but I have a concern for my school's CNA program. I am 17 years old and am training to be a Nursing assistant.
One of the "skills" we are taught is Perineal Care and it is the cleaning of the genital/perineal area. We are instructed how to do this on a mannequin and that is how we test.
But, in order to receive our license we must have hours in a real facility. It has come to my attention that I am expected to perform Perineal Care on adult patients, but I don't think that is legal.
A minor handling the genital area of an adult in any way is considered Statutory R*** (as far as I know) so I'm not sure what to do. Is this legal? And if it isn't and I refuse to perform the care, can I have my license revoked?

Agroup of 50 adult male humans were in a clinical study to determine how much niacin is toxic. during the first two weeks of the study, members of the group consumed only a formula diet that was nutritionally complete, except it contained 24 mg niacin, which is 1.5 times the rda for niacin (males). at that point in the study, all members reported feeling fine. during the next week, they were given a formula that contained 48 mg niacin. within a few days of consuming this formula, 90% of the participants reported feeling ill, and they complained of having upset stomachs and reddened facial skin. at that point, researchers gave the subjects a formula that contain 16 mg niacin. after a week of consuming the new formula, all participants reported feeling well again. based on this information, the researchers concluded that the amdr for niacin is between 16 and 24 mg/day. ul for niacin was between 24 and 48 mg/day. human requirement for niacin is 16 mg/day. eer for niacin was 16 mg/day.
