Violations:

Standard #:	22VAC40-111-30-B
Description:	Based on interview, record review and observation, it was determined the provider did not ensure compliance with the home's policies that have been disclosed to the parents. Evidence: 1. The provider is not MAT or EMAT certified and has a written policy that she will not administer medication. 2. The provider stated she has a child enrolled with a serious food allergy and that there is prescription medication at the home in the event the child has an allergic reaction. 3. The child's file was reviewed and the enrollment form states the food allergies and the plan of action in an emergency states "epipen'. The form on whether the Provider will or will not administer medication has not been completed or signed by the parent to acknowledge medication will not be given. 3. The medication present does not include a long term authorization form to store the medication.
Plan of Correction:	I will have parent sign the medication acknowledgment form and I will sign up for EMAT course.
