Evidence: 1) A medication authorization, for a prescription medication, was observed for Child #5. The center had written authorization from the child's parent to administer the prescription medication, but the written authorization from the child's physician expired on May 31, 2021. The medication was still on site at the time of inspection.

2) During interview, a member of management acknowledged the child's guardian was not notified that the authorization was expired and that the medication has not been properly disposed of. When an authorization for medication expires, the parent shall be notified that the medication needs to be picked up within 14 days or the parent must renew the authorization. Medications that are not picked up by the parent within 14 days will be disposed of by the center by either dissolving the medication down the sink or flushing it down the toilet.
