Medication Safety Tips from Nurse Becky
Medication Safety
1. Any student needing to take medication during school will need a parent to drop off medication at the school nurse’s office.
2. Do not allow children to bring or carry medication to school.
3. Keep all medication and chemical products in their original bottles or containers.
4. Store all medications at home in a safe place out of the reach of children.
5. All medication should be handled and given to a child with adult supervision.
6. Follow instructions on medication label and instructions given by their doctor.
7. Do not call medicine “candy.”
8. Be prepared: Put the poison help number near your home phone or save it on your
cell phone 1-800-222-1222
