Pediatric Medication Administration Help

Published

I am currently enrolled in a Pediatric/Maternal/Newborn Pharmacology class. We have no book. I am supposed to list the six guidelines for the administration of pediatric medications, but I am at a loss. As I said, we have no book and the answer is not in the powerpoints she has provided. I have googled, I have binged, I have looked in my pediatric nursing books, and anything else I could think of. :crying2: If someone could please help me with this I would be eternally grateful. :D Thanks so much in advance!

I figured that was most likely the answer, but she listed it as the 5 rights in the slides and then asked for six guidelines. I don't know....maybe she can't count?
