NEW! Online Learning Course: Medication Administration in Early Education and Child Care.

Transcription

1 NEW! Online Learning Course: Medication Administration in Early Education and Child Care. Description: Medication is usually given at home by parents/guardian. When a child attends a child-care facility, the medication can be administered by child care providers to maintain the health of the child, prevent illness, or relieve symptoms. Doing this allows a child who is not acutely ill to attend a child care program outside of home. To administer medication, child care providers have to comply with laws, regulations, and best practice. This curriculum was designed to educate child care providers who give children medication, but are not licensed health care professionals. Learning Objectives: Upon its completion, you will be able to: 1. Identify different types of medication. 2. Explain why and how medication is given. 3. Improve procedures for receiving, storing, preparing, and administering medication. 4. Document medication administration. 5. Recognize and respond to adverse reactions to medication. 6. Follow medication administration policies. Note to child care providers: This course is approved for 2.0 contact hours. Once you have completed the course, click the Claim Your Credit link on the side navigation bar to print your certificate of completion. Please check with your local licensing/regulatory contact to find out if this will meet your training hours requirement. * This online module is for educational purposes only.
