Med Policy Change... Need Feedback Please!

A child would need to be on antibiotics for something long past the point they are contagious. That might be another time you would need to consider giving meds...

Yeah, some meds need to be given 3-4x a day for 7-10 days which is well beyond the point of contagiousness or symptoms. I personally don't mind giving Rx meds if its during my hours of care and with a dr's note and appropriate forms signed. OTC meds I can see refusing and it's not something I typically do anyway.

Another thought, what about Epi-Pens? Are you going to refuse those too? Those are life-saving and a lot of kids need them.
