What documentation is needed if a student ingests something other than food?

The key documentation needed when a student ingests something other than food is a Medication Incident Report and Medication Return Form. This is important because it ensures that any incidents involving the ingestion of medications or substances are appropriately recorded and addressed.

A Medication Incident Report is critical for documenting the specifics of the incident, which may include details such as what was ingested, the time of ingestion, and the condition of the student after the incident. This record serves to inform medical staff and emergency responders about the situation, facilitating a timely and effective response.

The Medication Return Form may also be necessary to track the substance that was ingested, especially if it is a medication that needs to be accounted for or returned. This ensures compliance with medication handling policies and helps maintain accurate records of medications within the school environment.

Documentation like a Student Incident Report and Note to Parents can also be important, but the specific context of ingesting a non-food substance necessitates that focus be placed on medication-related forms to ensure thorough reporting and handling of the situation.
