Administration of Medication in Early Childhood Settings

Different situations may or may not require administration of medication to children while in childcare, and providers should have written policy and procedures regarding when and if to give 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 activities help staff correctly measure and administer medication.
