Between 12pm-1:15pm, interview was conducted with clients and staff. Copies of pertinent records obtained. Additional interviews were conducted with C1, and behaviorist. C1 liked attending this day program; did not recall if staff ever provide any medication or a tic tac. Other potential witnesses’ interview did not witness staff or ED give any PRN medication or tic tac to C1. Four out five staff interviewed denied the allegation; medtech reported that C1 did not have any medications therefore was not receiving medication assistance at the day program. ED denied the allegation and stated that C1 was not given any medication. ED reported that C1’s home staff did not provide any PRN medication. Therefore, when C1 would exhibit increased behavioral episode, ED would give C1 a “yellow Tic-Tac” because C1 would ask for PRN medication.

Based on the above information gathered although the allegation may be valid, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation or that a violation occurred; therefore, the allegation " Staff administer unauthorized medication to client ” is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.
