A Level 1 Medical Aide, often referred to as a Certified Medication Aide, is responsible for administering prescribed medications to residents according to their individualized care plans and documentation protocols. They carefully record each medication administered, ensuring accuracy and compliance with legal and facility standards. Additionally, they monitor residents for any adverse reactions or changes in condition, promptly notifying licensed nursing staff if a resident reports pain or exhibits concerning symptoms. They may also be tasked with measuring and recording vital signs such as blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and respiration, especially when required by specific medications or resident needs. Overall, their role is vital in supporting safe medication management and contributing to residents' overall well-being under supervision.
