Medication in Early Childhood Settings
Different

medications. This training program covers when to give
medications; the "Five Rights" of assisting with medication;
safety measures in handling, storing, and disposing of
medications; side effects and allergic reactions; appropriate
documentation; and effective follow-up with parents. Participant

medication.
