Evidence:
The record for Child #2 indicated the child has a food allergy. The record did not contain a written care plan. The vendor stated the family has not obtained a written care plan for the food the child is allergic.
Plan of Correction: I will ask the parents to confirm this an actual food allergy. If it is an actual food allergy, I will have the parents get a food allergy action plan completed by the doctor.
