Hello,

If anyone could help please!
List 10 things you will need to check BEFORE you administer medication to a child

Have 8 things so far ..

1. Check medication form, previoulsy completed and sign by parent/guardian
2. Prescribed by doctor and in original labeled packaging
3. Right child, check child's name and date of birth on label
4. Right medication - check label
5. Expiry date has not passed
6. Right dosage - check label and authorization form
7. Check measuring device and double check with another Educator
8. Correct time - check form and label match

Thank you =)

Hi Lorina
A lot of the links you post don't work any more. I get a 404 error.
