Wash. Admin. Code § 246-841A-586
WAC 246-841A-589 through 246-841A-595 apply to the endorsement of a nursing assistant-certified as a medication assistant. A nursing assistant-certified with a medication assistant endorsement administers medications and commission-approved treatments to residents in nursing homes under the direct supervision of a designated registered nurse.
Nothing in these rules requires a nursing home to employ a nursing assistant-certified with a medication assistant endorsement. A medication assistant's employer may limit or restrict the range of their employee's functions permitted in these rules, but may not expand those functions.
WAC 246-841A-589 through 246-841A-595 also apply to the approval of education and training programs and the competency evaluation for medication assistants.
Medication assistants are responsible and accountable for their specific functions.
