Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The requirement for a parent to remain in the room with the child at all times is not a universal guideline for administering pediatric medications. Guidelines typically focus on ensuring the medication is administered safely and effectively, which includes explaining the procedure in a way the child can understand, allowing the child to assist if possible, and following the "6 Rights" of medication administration (right patient, right medication, right dose, right time, right route, and right documentation).
