What should be done if there are unresolved verification concerns about a medication?

The appropriate action when faced with unresolved verification concerns about a medication is to engage in discussion with the student's prescriber or relevant staff member. This step is crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of the student. It allows for clarification on the medication's purpose, dosage, and any potential interactions or side effects that may not have been previously addressed.

This proactive approach not only helps to confirm whether to proceed with administration but also ensures that any potential risks associated with the medication are evaluated properly. It underscores the importance of communication and collaboration in healthcare settings, particularly when questions arise regarding a student's treatment plan.

Taking further action, such as documenting the concerns without seeking guidance or continuing with administration without resolution, can put the student at risk. Open dialogue with healthcare professionals ensures that any discrepancies are appropriately handled and that the student's care is prioritized and safely managed.
