Summary of Complaint PCS1002549 Investigation The visit conducted today included monitoring of the Agency's compliance with Licensing Rules and Regulations. Observation: On March 27, 2023, at 11:40a, an expired Epi-Pen (December 2022) was accessible to a child, aged 3 years. An Educator placed an Epi-Pen in her pocket during lunch but did not return the Epi-Pen to its original location upon returning to the classroom. The Educator was sitting and reading a story to the children when a child reached into her pocket and grabbed the Epi-Pen. The Educator did not feel the child's hand in her pocket. At this time, the Educator asked the children to "put their books away." The Educator started messaging a parent/guardian, on ProCare Solutions, about an unrelated incident and heard the child "oww." When the Educator turned around, she saw the Epi-Pen "hanging from the child's finger." The Educator instantly removed the Epi-Pen from the child's finger and requested assistance from the Director. The child was picked up by their Mother. The Mother informed the Director that additional treatment was required in the Emergency Department. Technical Assistance Given: Medications – LC Rogers reviewed 1240-04-01-.12 Health and Safety (12) Medications with Director and Educator. (12) Medications. (a) Receiving Medications. 1. All medications shall be received from the parent/guardian by a designated staff person. 2. The designated staff person(s) shall: (i) Obtain the parent's/guardian's written authorization to administer each medication; (ii) Document that the medicines or drugs are in the original container, are not expired, and are labeled with the child's name; (iii) Document the specific dosage and times the medication is to be administered to the child; and (iv) Document that the parent/guardian has provided the child care agency with instructions on the means and method of administration. (b) Administering Medications. 1. All medications shall be administered by a staff person or persons who have received training in medication administration. Online training is available through the American Academy of Pediatrics at no cost. 2. The following documentation shall be maintained in the child's file and a copy provided to the parent/guardian: (i) Medication was administered according to parent/guardian or health care provider instruction, including times and amounts of medications administered; (ii) Any side effects observed; (iii) Name of staff person administering medication to child; and (iv) Unused medication was returned to the parent/guardian. 3. Medication shall never be administered in bottles or infant feeders unless authorized by a physician. Educators shall ensure that medication administered in this way is not accessible to other children. (c) Accessibility of Medications. 1. Medication shall not be accessible to children unless a physician's authorization for the current school year is on file that allows a school-age child to have self administered medication. 2. All medication shall be stored in a child-proof compartment or container. 3. If medications requiring refrigeration are kept in a refrigerator used for food storage, the medicine shall be put in a leak-proof, child-proof container. 4.

(d) Diaper cream, ointments, sunscreens and lotions shall be inaccessible to children. Technical Assistance Given: Administering Medication in Child Care Settings – LC Rogers will require all Educators to take the Administering Medication in Child Care Settings training on ProSolutions. Technical Assistance Given: ProCare Solutions – If an Educator is alone in the classroom and needs to contact a parent/guardian immediately, via ProCare Solutions, the Educator should request assistance in the classroom so that all children can continue to be supervised properly. If the message is not urgent, LC Rogers recommends that Educators wait until naptime to complete any messages on ProCare Solutions. Violations Received: 1240-04-01-.06 STAFF.
