Arrive at the nurse for scheduled medicine
When to use this goal
For students who take medicine at school and whose nurse has to call the classroom each day because they do not come. Present levels in telling time, reading a schedule, or using an alert decide fit. The nurse gives the medicine; the goal is only the student's arrival at the scheduled time.
- Baseline
- Use the nurse's log for 10 school days: did the student arrive within ten minutes of the scheduled time without being called. Note days the schedule changed.
- Tips
- The criterion is every scheduled time because missed doses matter; the nurse still calls if the student does not come. Agree with teachers on a quiet exit. Change alerts when the medication schedule changes.
- Limits
- The nurse's plan and the student's health plan take priority; this goal never replaces the nurse's follow-up. Does not teach anything about the medicine itself.

- Record up to 10 opportunities per session, matching the goal's denominator.
- Define in advance what counts as an opportunity so every data collector records the same thing.
- Count only + marks toward the criterion unless the goal specifies prompted responses.
