You would need to check your job description. I can only assume there are certain job skills you have to qualify to care for a patient with spina bifida. It will also depend on the age and types of defects your patient has.
Spina Bifida causes such a large variety of disabilities, from the mildest to the most severe defects. Your patients may need the tiniest amount of assistance with daily living to total patient care.


If you are going to be working in a home situation you should be able to learn to do everything the family members are able to do, which may encompass more than you have been trained for including treatments normally done by licensed personal, in a more formal setting such as an acute care facility. Anything that goes beyond your scope of comfort due to lack of training, speak up. Do not allow anyone to force you to attempt tasks you have not been trained to do, but do accept any training offered to make you a more valuable employee.
