If a camp residential camp is not ACA accredited, would it typically still have policies on medication administration? If in case they do not, would you still be covered to give the campers their prescribed medications by their primary doctor if they bring the meds in the properly labeled contained with name, dose, date, route, frequency? in which case i'm assuming the problem there would be they couldn't get any prn otc medication if there were no medical protocols? I got this from the ACA website: "Usually a physician is the only one who can determine what medication is to be used, and under what circumstances. A physician can delegate medication decision-making to a registered nurse through medical protocols."
