This training document outlines procedures for packing and documenting medications when clients take leave from the facility. Staff should pack each medication dose in a separate ziplock bag labeled with the dosage time and complete a visitor pass form. On the MAR, staff should initial and circle their initials for each scheduled dose while the client is away and note "resident is on leave" on the back of the MAR each shift. Following these procedures ensures medications are properly packed and the MAR accurately documents doses while clients are on leave from the facility.
