Case Study

A parent arrives at the setting and tells you that her child has been given antibiotics by the doctor and that they must have 3 doses a day.

1. What will you ask the parent to do?
2. What will you check is on the medicine bottle?
3. Where will you put the medication?
4. What procedure will you follow for giving the medication?

It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your assessor.
