Ooooh, sorry you have to deal with this a&b. We who are really good at our jobs as caregivers are always worried about the children. And that's a good thing. But the parents make the final decisions. I will medicate a child from a doctor prescribed medication but not any over the counter meds. So if a parent gave me a bottle of meds from the doctor I would have to administer it as instructed. It might be completely against my beliefs and make me worry terribly about the well being of the child but I would have to do it.

I think I would ask the parent to sign and date on a special note on my emergency medical forms where I indicate any ongoing meds the child is on which is meant to be handed to the paramedics if I ever had to call 911. My medical forms are meant to absolve me from anything in that case and put the burden on the parents to take over at the hospital.
