Guest Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) Hi Does anyone have an example of a long term medication form? We have one child who requires medication 4 times a day? And another child who will need a cathater (sorry terrible spelling) changing everytime he attends the setting? (which will be twice per week). We have the short term form but it doesnt really cover things like the above! Thank you jx Edited February 9, 2009 by Jenni B
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Hi Jenni We use a PLA Medication record book for our child who has long term medical needs. Hope this helps. If not possibly speak to your area SENCO. sunnyday
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Yes, we do too - was just about to suggest that, or you could make up your own notebook, could you?
Guest Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Thank you. Could you possibly remember what the headings are in the PLA notebook? The I could make my own? Thank you jx
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Yes you could! Unfortunately I can't remember off the top of my head what they are. If no-one comes up trumps tonight I'll try and remember to note them down tomorrow.
Guest Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 We have long term stuff displayed so that everyone is aware (not that it has helped me recentely, see another thread) we then get the staff to record what medication etc they have given/applied, someone who witnessed and checked it and then the parent signs it to say they were told, is that what you mean? Or we have chidlren who have cream on everyday and there mdical form says until further notice. With the previous record of recording also used. (hope that makes sense)
Guest Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 We have a long term from but it is on work pc and I am at home ~ sorry. Basically it details medication and dosages with a parental permission signature part, under this is are 6 colums to detail ~ date, time, doasge, given by, witnessed by and parental signature. In addition the form states that the permission must be renewed at a minimum of 3 monthly and immediately if doasge changes. All works very well for us. Hope this helps Debbie
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Right, it doesn't look like anyone has sorted this so far, so here's the PSLA headings. Medication Record Name of child Name of doctor Name of medication Dosage Time(s) at which medication is to be administered Circumstances in which medication is to be administered (if for emergency use) I confirm that the medication, dosage and tiings indicated above are correct and authorise the preschool to administer them. Parent's signature and date Then there is a table with headings date, quantity administered, time administered, signature of staff administering medication and at the end Background - (which I suppose is if it's been an 'incident', ie asthma attack) Parent's signature and date Hope this helps
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 You're welcome - I brought it home last night to do it for you then got sidetracked! Better late than never though eh
