A Certified Home Health Aide (CHHA) is generally not permitted to administer rectal suppositories unless specifically trained and authorized to do so under state regulations and agency policies. Their scope of practice typically includes assisting with personal care and some basic medical tasks, but invasive procedures like administering suppositories may require the skills of a licensed nurse or medical professional. Always consult local regulations and agency guidelines for specific protocols.
