Parental Permission Form for Over-The-Counter Medications

Dear Parent/Guardian:
The New Hampshire School Nurse is a Registered Nurse who manages School Health Services to facilitate and strengthen the educational process for all students within the school setting. Although not encouraged, I realize that Over-The Counter (OTC) medications are sometimes appropriate and, in fact, necessary. Under the NH Department of Education administrative rule, Ed 311.02, parents may give written permission for a child to receive short-term OTC medication at school. A new form must be completed each year.
The decision to administer such medication/treatment is that of the School Nurse. Please understand that these will only be administered to relieve symptoms of occasional pain and/or discomfort and should not be used as a substitute for chronic health problems or to keep an ill child in school.
If your child seems to need any of these medications more often than occasionally or I have concerns regarding the use of any of these medications, I may request that you have a health care provider’s evaluation and authorization to continue giving the medication. You may be asked to provide a supply for your child as well; all medications must be delivered to school by an adult in the original container. Any medication left at the end of the year will be disposed of within one week of the end of school.

Below is a list of over-the-counter items available in the Health Office. Any other item must be supplied by the parent (original container, delivered by an adult). Please check those items that you authorize your child to receive:

Oral medications
 Acetaminophen (generic Tylenol), tablets dosage by age/weight
 Ibuprofen (generic Advil/Motrin) tablets dosage by age/weight
 Benadryl elixir/tablets, dosage by age/weight for significant allergy
 Antacid tablets (chewable)
 Chloraseptic type spray for minor sore throat
 Cough Drops

Topical medications for first aid
 Calamine/Caladryl lotion
 Hydrocortisone cream
 Antibiotic ointment (such as Bacitracin)
 Sting-kill insect bite swabs (Benzocaine 6%)
 Bactine and Burngel

Other (parents must supply):

Thank you for your cooperation,
Jennifer Bernier
