Group Activity: Receiving Medication, Scenario 2
Maria is 3-years-old and has eczema. She needs hydrocortisone cream applied to her arms at noon time. This is an OTC medication with a brand name of Aveeno®. Aveeno also makes other non-medicated skin moisturizers as well, but the medication that is being requested is an OTC hydrocortisone cream. Maria has had this medication before.
• Switch roles from Scenario 1: Nick.
• Materials
– Labeled “Aveeno®” in containers
– Medication Packet with completed Authorization to Give Medicine and Receiving Medication with child’s name on the top that participants will complete
– Completed Universal Child Health Record
– Storage box to place medication (assume that it is locked)
• Conclude the activity with the instructor posing “What if” questions like:
– “What if the label with Maria’s name blocked the instructions?”
– “What if the permission form was incomplete?”
• Answer: The medication should not be accepted until the problem is fixed.
Instructor Note:
For activity, make 2 demonstration models:
• Cream with instructions blocked by Maria’s name
• Incomplete Authorization to Give Medicine form
