I would just like to add that the use of unlicensed assistive personnel to administer medications does not take away the responsibility of the Licensed personnel (i.e.Registered Nurse/LPN). The liability is ultimately still in the nurses hands so if you feel comfortable basically signing off on something that you are not doing and are just trusting that person to do this appropriately, meaning they are following the same guidelines you learned in the many years of training, then you can choose to do so. You can also choose to not delegate this nursing task, even though it will increase your workload, it will ensure the safety of your patients!
