What are the requirements for training staff when medications are delegated?
Training on medications is required if an individual needs assistance that is provided by unlicensed paid direct contact staff. The BON requires that the RN verify and confirm the competency of unlicensed staff under delegation. The program provider must show evidence that staff were trained by an RN or LVN on the specific medications. The documentation must include who was trained and the subject of the training. When new medications are prescribed, DADS Waiver Survey and Certification (WS&C) requires documentation of additional training.
