2 classes of psychotropic medication are antipsychotic (neuroleptic), antidepressant, antianxiety, mood stabilizers, anticonvulsants, and stimulants and non-stimulants for the treatment of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Other miscellaneous medications are considered to be a psychotropic medication when they are specifically prescribed to treat a mental illness or to control or alter behavior. Staff Training Requirements A. Before administering medications staff must successfully complete medication administration training developed and taught by a registered nurse, clinical nurse specialist in psychiatric and mental health nursing, certified nurse practitioner, physician's assistant, or physician. The training will include observed skill assessment conducted by the trainer to ensure staff demonstrate the ability to safely and correctly follow medication procedures. B. Only staff who have been trained by a health professional may administer emergency injectable medications (Epi-Pen or Gluc-Gun). C. Staff must review and receive instruction from the Program Director or their designee on individual medication administration procedures established for each participant for whom they are responsible for medication administration. Procedures for Obtaining Consent to Administer Medications A. When PossAbilities is assigned responsibility for medication administration, during the initial admissions meeting, and on an annual basis, the Program Director, Coordinator or Specialist assigned to the participant, will obtain written authorization to provide assistance with or administration of medications or treatments from the participant and/or their legal representative on the Emergency Treatment and Medication Administration Release. B. The Program Director, Coordinator or Specialist assigned to the participant will assure a copy of the Emergency Treatment and Medication Administration Release is placed in the participant s individual program file. C. If the participant or the person s legal representative refuses to authorize medication administration the staff must not administer the medication. D. The Program Director must report the refusal to authorize medication administration to the prescriber within 24 hours. E. After reporting the refusal to authorize to the prescriber the Program Director will inform staff of all directives or orders given by the prescriber. Staff must follow and document those directives or orders. F. Refusal to authorize administration of a specific psychotropic medication is not grounds for service termination and does not constitute an emergency. A decision to terminate services must comply with the program s service suspension and termination policy. G. Staff may not override the refusal to authorize the administration of a psychotropic medication without a specific court order. Revised 3/12/15 Medication Administration Policy Page 2 of 6
