Which dental assistants need current CPR certification?

Explanation:
The main idea is that CPR certification is tied to the license-held scope of practice. In Iowa, those who hold the Registered Dental Assistant credential must maintain current CPR certification because they are authorized to perform chairside duties and could encounter medical emergencies in the dental chair. Trainees, while learning, are not yet licensed to practice independently and aren’t required to hold CPR certification for licensure or official practice. So the requirement applies to RDA’s, not to trainees.
