Medication Adminitration Procedure

To ensure that the medication policy is carried out, staff will:

‍

1. Have the enrolling parent/legal guardian fill out a written consent form stating:
   
   • the correct dosage;
   • time to be given;
   • name of medication; and
   • any additional facts, such as possible side effects.

‍

2. Ensure that medication is clearly labelled and in its original container.

‍

3. Check expiry dates on the medication.

‍

4. Maintain a written record of medication administered, stating:

• time and dosage given; and
• signature of the staff member involved.

5. Return all unused medication promptly to the enrolling parent or legal guardian.
