MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION – ADVERSE REACTIONS

1. Two nurses will check all medications delivered to a campus for identity and accuracy. This check will include a visual inspection of every medication for any unusual color, particles and expiration date.
2. The nurse will check with the parent/guardian while obtaining consent for any known adverse reactions to the prescribed medication.
3. In the event that there is an adverse reaction to a medication, the nurse will call the physician for further orders and notify the parent/guardian of the reaction and alternative treatment.
4. All adverse reactions will be noted and reported in the nursing department campus quarterly IOP report
