Yes, a personal care assistant (PCA) can administer a suppository, but this generally depends on state regulations and the specific policies of the healthcare organization they work for. In many cases, PCAs may be trained to assist with such tasks under the supervision of a licensed healthcare professional. It's important for the PCA to follow proper procedures and ensure the patient's comfort and dignity during the process. Always consult local laws and organizational guidelines to confirm compliance.
