Security, Use and Access of Prescription Medications Sample Clauses

Security, Use and Access of Prescription Medications. If a client has medications that must be administered throughout the evening/night or will be damaged by extreme heat or cold, they may retrieve them from a designated staff person. If a medication needs to be refrigerated, the medication will be packaged and labeled with person’s name, bed number, and name of medication and placed inside a designated locked refrigerator. A client who qualifies and requests their medications to be stored in a locked area must sign an Agreement Form and will have access to the medications as soon as possible by their request to the staff on duty. The client will be responsible for requesting and taking their own medications within limits of how they are prescribed. Only the person whose name is on the medications will be able to retrieve them.
