[quote=Anonymous]My current employers and I have a standing agreement as well regarding medications. We discussed it within the first week of employment, and I know I am able to exercise judgement regarding tylenol, motrin, and breathing treatments. If it's being administered during the course of an illness I don't bother notifying them b/c they assume I will continue what they've started or we've talked about. If someone presents with a fever on my watch (high enough to warrant meds) I usually text MB or DB (if MB isn't working from her home office that day) to let them know about the fever. I always keep a written log of any meds I administer...it's really casual though (a post-it note on the kitchen island). I don't text when I give meds for a headache, but I will write it down (if I'm handing over to DB) or give a verbal rundown to MB at the end of the day. If I did not have a standing agreement with this family I would notify them before administering any medications, as I do on the rare occasions I need to give a child medication when I am babysitting for a different family outside of work.
