Exam Overview & Description:
This exam helps caregivers, direct care staff, nursing assistants, and other unlicensed healthcare
personnel demonstrate competency in the safe administration of medications within authorized
Colorado care settings. To become a Qualified Medication Administration Person (QMAP),
candidates must complete approved training and successfully pass both a written examination
and a hands-on practical skills evaluation. QMAP-qualified personnel may administer
medications according to physician orders, maintain medication records, use proper medication
administration techniques, and manage medication reminder boxes under appropriate
supervision. QMAPs are qualified—but not licensed or certified—to perform medication
administration duties in approved facilities.

• Medication Fundamentals — understanding drug classifications, forms, uses, and
medication terminology.
• Medication Orders — interpreting physician orders and prescriptions accurately.
• Medication Administration Procedures — applying correct techniques for administering
medications through approved routes.
• Medication Administration Records (MAR) — documenting medication administration
accurately and completely.
• Medication Safety — preventing, identifying, and responding to medication errors.
• Medication Storage and Security — proper handling, storage, and safeguarding of
medications.

boxes under supervision.
