Hello, I find it offensive that you would call somebody " DSM classification with the IQ of below 30.( an idiot, imbicile or moron)" I work with mentally challenged folks and I do not feel that somebody with the IQ below 30 is any of the above name calling descriptions. I have worked as a psychiatric nurse since 1989 and there are many folks that do not understand the significance of what is said in the heat of the moment. Nonetheless, there are "toxic work environments" and if you would like resources on this topic, reply to my post and I will try to assist you to find scholaraly articles on this topic. Good luck with what you decide to do. I feel that you only are doing your best and just don't know how to handle the environment of your workplace. I agree with TIGERT in that working on the relationship in a non-threatening manner would be a start...:)

If the mom had a prescription from the medical doctor, there would be no problem. In other words, a prescription that mom can use the hospital approved medication for home use. However, for further thought, if the physician ordered the medication, the patient should be given it. Not only that, the patient could decompensate, especially if there was a problem with a reaction or breathing problems. A child can sleep through a reaction. Wake the child up and give the medication as ordered.
