Frequently asked questions

Does OCC 1216B replace OCC 1216 for epinephrine?

Yes. The form states it is for allergy and anaphylaxis medication only and replaces OCC 1216. It combines the treatment plan, the prescriber's authorization, parent consent, emergency contacts and a medication administration record.

What emergency steps does the Maryland anaphylaxis plan list?

Staff give epinephrine right away and note the time, call 911 and ask for an ambulance with epinephrine, stay with the child, call the parents, keep the child lying on the back or on the side if vomiting or struggling to breathe, and give other prescribed medicine.

Can a child self-carry epinephrine in Maryland child care?

The provider marks yes or no for self-carry and for self-administration on page 1. The parent's section notes that the child care program may revoke a child's authorization to self-carry or self-administer medication.
