# Adding a New Drug Test Report

If a client is not already selected, use the Case Management search or client search. Once a client is selected, select the Note application.

Given that you have permission to record drug tests, open the "Case Manager" tab and search for a client.

Once the client is selected, choose the "Drug Test" tab.

In the top right of the application, select the green “+ Create a Drug Test” button

Fill out the form and press the blue Save button.

### **The Test Section**

The **Administration Date**is the date when the drug test was administered.

The **Kit Used**drop-down indicates which drug kit was used. Your administrators can customize drug kits.

The **Sent To Lab**checkbox indicates if the test results were self-reviewed or sent to a lab for analysis.

The **Action Taken**dropdown indicates what actions were taken as a result of the test results.

The **Notes** field allows you to record additional information about the drug test or results

### **The Results Section**

The results section is populated with drugs based on the kit selected in the Kit Used drop-down.

Each drug in the drug kit can return one of three results. **None**indicates that the test has either not been completed or did not include the selected drug.  **Negative**indicates the drug was not present. **Positive**indicates that the drug returned as present.

The **Confirmed**checkbox indicates the result has been confirmed by an authoritative source such as a lab.

The **Has a Prescription**checkbox indicates that the client is expected to have a positive result for the drug. If a drug is present but the user has a prescription the summary screen will present a yellow caution flag, rather than a red warning flag.
