When a client who is receiving medication support from the provider declines to take a prescribed medication, the provider must:

1. (1) Respect the client's right to choose not to take the medication;
2. (2) Document the reason for the decline, if provided;
3. (3) Document the time, date, and medication the client did not take;
4. (4) Document the number of medication support attempts; and
5. (5) Unless a written plan between the provider and prescriber or primary care practitioner is in effect, notify the client's prescriber or primary care practitioner and document directions received and follow-up action taken by the provider.
