Re: stable neonate transports

If an individual  is trained to do a job then it shouldn't be any EMTALA violation; MD, RN, Medic.
They're all valid licensures.
My question is if you're transporting a "stable" infant (and I assume that given that this child is not going home and on to another medical center)  if there is a problem, is a single caregiver adequete? I'm not making accusations about individual capabilities (and there are some amazing folks out there) but as a standard of practice is it safe to send a partial team?
