Yeah, some meds need to be given 3-4x a day for 7-10 days which is well beyond the point of contagiousness or symptoms. I personally don't mind giving Rx meds if its during my hours of care and with a dr's note and appropriate forms signed. OTC meds I can see refusing and it's not something I typically do anyway.

Another thought, what about Epi-Pens? Are you going to refuse those too? Those are life-saving and a lot of kids need them.
