I had a parent drop off a refill of meds this am. The kiddo takes the tabs in halves and wholes - halves with me, so parent gave me a refill from their bottle. When I went to take a moment of quiet time to pre-halve the pills, I noticed that 2 of them were not the same when i looked closer, looked it up and noted they were his am pills. Very similar looking, slightly smaller, same shape and different imprint.
So then my mind started going - how much of a responsibility do we have to check each and every pill for accuracy? I mean we would expect that most parents are not mixing into one bottle, but the reality is that many parents do.
Do you think if I didn't notice, the liability would fall on me or the parent?
Am I over analyzing this??
