1. Upon admission of a client to a Community Care program where medications
will be administered by a Community Care employee or contractee,
a Standing Order Form must be completed and authorized prior to administering
any over the counter medications.
2. Standing Orders Forms should be completed by the client's primary care
physician and should be used to identify possible adverse interactions with
other medications if applicable.

program form by the employee or the contracted foster parent administering the
medication along with any observed reactions. This form must be placed in the
client's case record.
