Asthma Action question

Published

Does an asthma action plan signed by an MD also act as a medication auth form? (I.e. says to give neb treatment, I have med in pharmacy box clearly ordered by MD, but I dont have the MD prescription school specific form for med)

Trying to find a definitive answer on this and cannot.

Thank you in advance!

No. You have no way of knowing if that is the child's inhaler or Pawpaw's who passed away last year. Also, would you accept any other medication without the packaging or a label? Same concept. I don't accept random meds in a bottle/baggie and I don't accept inhalers without a box and label. Plus, you have no way of verifying your MD orders on your med form off of an inhaler without a label.

Thank you for your response. Will call guardian right away. thanks

You're welcome! Also, I just re-read this and it sounded a little "short"! Totally not my intention. Hopefully the parents will understand and get you what you need soon!!
