Posted: Fri Jan 23, 2015 2:06 pm
Case Study 3
Caden has been absent for a few days. When he returns to care his mum, Angie, tells you that he is recovering from an ear infection and that he needs to take antibiotics twice a day and have ear drops administered every 4 hours.
She provides a medical certificate stating Caden is well enough to return to care and a letter from his Doctor detailing the medication he has to take. You will need to give Caden the antibiotics at 5.00pm as his mother does not collect him until 5.30pm and also the ear drops at 11.00am and 3.00pm.
1. Summarise what you need to do to ensure the medication can be administered to Caden whilst in care. Ensure your answer is in accordance with best practice outline in the latest edition of Staying Healthy: Preventing infectious diseases in early childhood education and care services.
2. Outline (step by step) how you would administer each medication to Caden.
- Theliquid antibiotics.
- The ear drops.
