39. Medication CCF Handbook, Section 6.5 CCF Handbook, Section 6.5 (Form DEL-SR-6200A) (39-01)
A prescription or non-prescription medication, specifically [tylenol is being dispensed or], was dispensed without written authorization from the custodial parent or legal guardian. CCF Handbook, Section 6.5, A and K (Section 2.1 Health and Safety, Page 3) Health Requirements [SR] Comments: Ruediger Elementary EDEP facility advised that medication is not administered on site. However, upon inspection of the facilitys first aid kits, Tylenol was observed in all kits. Staff indicated they are permitted to administer Tylenol to children in accordance with Leon County Schools guidelines. This is a discrepancy between the facilitys stated policy and observed practice. All medications must be stored, documented, and administered in accordance with applicable licensing regulations and written parental authorization. The facility is required to ensure that its policies and procedures accurately reflect current practices and that all staff follow established medication administration guidelines. The facility must either remove all medication from first aid kits if medication is not administered on site, or update policies and ensure full compliance with medication administration requirements. Proof of corrective action is required. 6.5 Medication A. The child care program must have written authorization from the custodial parent or legal guardian to give prescription and non-prescription medications. This authorization must be dated and signed by the custodial parent or legal guardian and contain the childs name; the name of the medication to be given; and date, time and amount of the correct dosage to be given. Prescription and non-prescription medications that are used on an as needed basis require the parent/ legal guardian to provide additional documentation on the authorization form to describe symptoms that would require the medication to be given. The child care provider must never administer a medication that is prescribed for one child to another child. RECORD KEEPING Not Applicable Comments No required at this SR facility. 40.
