32 | During the investigation, LPA interviewed 4 staff members, the subject child, 8 parents, and reviewed records which include Childcare Roster and Facility Medication paperwork.
During the staff interviews, 2 out of 4 staff interviewed stated they have given C1 medication in the last 3 months. 4 of 4 staff interviewed stated staff #3 (S3) and S4 make sure the medications are current or expired. 4 of 4 staff interviewed stated S3 and S4 are in charge of giving medication to children at facility. S1 disclosed S1 knew there was a complaint/concern about C1 with pill situation. C1’s medication was changed. Original plan was to give C1 two pills and new plan is to give C1 one pill only. S3 stated: About 2 weeks ago, there was miscommunication with C1’s medication dosage. Staff had been administering the wrong dosage for 5 days, by giving C1 two pills instead of one pill. When C1’s medication was low, S3 approached C1’s dad and was advised to give C1 only 1 pill. Staff had updated the records to only give C1 only 1 pill.
LPA reviewed C1’s Parent/Guardian Authorized Health Care Provider Request for Medication dated 8/8/2024 and it instructed to give C1 one tablet by mouth by 1pm. S3 received this form, reviewed it, and signed it on 8/8/2024.
LPA also reviewed C1’s medication bottle dated 8/8/2024 and it instructed to give C1 one table.
LPA reviewed the email from S4 to C1’s representative dated 8/22/2024 stating facility staff failed to catch there was an update on the new Parent/Guardian Authorized Health Care Provider Request for Medication to C1 medication dosage and there was no excuse for this mistake.
During the children interviews, 1 out of 1 children interviewed stated: C1 takes medication at school. S1, S3, and S4 gave C1 medication at school.
LPA contacted 11 parents and LPA was only able to interview 8 parents. 7 parents did not make any disclosure regarding the above allegations and did not have any concern.
