    Study Notes

    Medication Aide Responsibilities

    • Nursing assistive personnel can administer medications only if permitted by state law.
    • Medication Aide-Certified (MA-C) individuals work under the supervision of a licensed nurse.
    • The Nurse Practice Act aims to protect public welfare and safety by regulating nursing practices.

    Certification and Regulations

    • MA-Cs are certified after passing state-mandated education and competency evaluations.
    • Certification can be revoked for actions such as drug abuse, but not for refusing verbal orders from doctors.

    Professional Boundaries

    • Boundary signs include checking on patients on days off, while boundary violations involve accepting personal invitations from patients.
    • Professional conduct requires behaviors that prioritize patient welfare over personal needs.

    Continuing Education and Task Delegation

    • Renewal of MA-C certification typically requires proof of continuing education hours.
    • MA-Cs can perform delegated tasks safely, while the nursing staff holds accountability for these tasks.
    • Tasks should remain within the scope of legal limits and job descriptions.

    Drug Administration Protocols

    • If unsure about a drug's administration, MA-Cs should always consult the supervising nurse.
    • MA-Cs are not authorized to perform assessments regarding a patient’s pain but must relay such complaints to the nurse.
    • Possession of controlled substances is considered a crime.
    • Serious offenses such as assault, battery, and invasion of privacy have specific definitions and implications in a healthcare setting.

    Elder Abuse and Child Neglect

    • Signs of elder abuse can include unexplained injuries, poor hygiene, and emotional distress.
    • Child neglect and abuse manifest through deprivation of basic needs and visible injuries.

    Nursing Process

    • The nursing process includes assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation but does not include "observation" as a formal step.
    • It is a structured method used for planning and delivering patient care effectively.

    Important Drug Regulations

    • The Controlled Substance Act regulates controlled substances, differentiating their classifications based on medical use.
    • Schedule I drugs are classified as having no accepted medical use in the United States.

    Reporting and Response

    • Suspected abuse should be reported to a nurse rather than the family or police initially, ensuring appropriate protocols are followed.
    • MA-Cs hold significant responsibilities in medication delivery but must operate within their training and state regulations to ensure safety.
