What this chapter governs
Everything about giving medications: becoming a MAP, the exam, the validation, and the annual update — plus the separate insulin and prescribed-enteral-formula tracks that most providers do not realise are separate.
What Care Wizard tracks from this rule
- Medication Administration Validation — Annual (strict 60-day window), staff who administer or assist with medication
- Insulin Administration (MAP) — Course once; validation and update every year, staff who administer insulin or supervise its self-administration
- Prescribed Enteral Formula (MAP) — Course once; validation and update every year, staff who administer prescribed enteral formula (tube feeding)
