Renewal of Category 2 certification annually allows personnel to administer medications through a Gastrostomy or Jejunostomy (G/J) tube if the DSP has been delegated to do so by a nurse. Student must have a current Certification 1 prior to attending class.
Administration of Medication by Gastrostomy or Jejunostomy tubes (G or J tubes)
To renew a Category 2 certification, DSPs must have a current Category 1 certification.
With Medication Administration Certification Category 2 and nurse delegation, a DSP can administer medications via a stable and labeled gastrostomy or jejunostomy tube (G/J tube).
Nursing delegation is when a nurse delegates or assigns responsibility for performing a nursing task to a DSP. When doing so, the nurse teaches the DSP what to do and makes sure the DSP performs that task correctly (OAC 4723-13).
The required Category 1 certification must be current for the Category 2 certification to be valid (even if it is not expired).
About Training
Renewal Category 2 training must be no less than 1 hour of instruction, including demonstration of all skills (with your delegating nurse), and taught by a DODD-certified RN Trainer. The DODD-approved curriculum must be used for the training. View classes available to the public on the Medication Administration Certification classes page. NOTE: The RN Trainer teaching this course is NOT the delegating nurse checking your skills.
This certification is renewed every year and requires
- an application form for renewal signed by employer verifying background check requirements,
- a current Category 1 certification,
- at least one hour of continuing education (in addition to Category 1 continuing education),
- demonstration of safe G/J tube skills verified by a nurse (view Skills Checklist),
- and a certified RN Trainer to verify renewal requirements and enter them into the DODD Medication Administration Information System, or MAIS App.
Administration of Fluid and Nutrition by G/J Tube
Certification 2 is not required for nurses to delegate the administration of food or fluid through a G/J tube. Only nurse delegation is required and is conducted according to Ohio Board of Nursing rules.
