what type of drug would be most likely given to a child and why? Explain the precautions you would need to take and why
NEW POST:
Often, legal drugs like glue e.g. are the most common types of drugs found because they can be found anywhere but now, there is a law preventing under 16's/18's buying glue.
But in illegal terms, the two most common drugs are cannabis and cocaine. Difference is that cannabis is smoked while cocaine is injected. Both are often used as ways to get rid of depression or to fell calm, but it often makes it worse.
What else can I help you with?
Can a doctor prescribes drug to 8 years old child without both custodian parent authorization or both parent consents?
Yes they can and they do it all the time. For instance, a mom comes into the ER with her child who is vomiting, it is likely that she will be given a prescription for an anti-emetic at the time of discharge, to get filled at any phamancy. However, if it is an experimental drug, that would need informed consent from both parents, that is different.
If a standard injectable form of a drug is given every 12 hours is the sustained release form more likely to be given every 6 hours or 96 hours?
More likely would be every 96 hours - the sustained release form is the formulation that keeps blood levels of the drug elevated for longer periods of time than the standard formulation.
Do you think using an illegal drug ounce is safe?
If you mean an ounce of the drug then its solely depends on what drug it is, I would only recommend smoking an ounce of weed, an ounce of heroin would most likely kill you, and Ounce of coke.. would most likely kill you, an ounce of ecstasy... would most likely kill you.

To prevent an undesired symptom. Such as Topamax being a prophylactic drug for migraines. It prevents them.

This depends on the drug and if the drug user is dependent on the drug. For example if a placebo was given to a heroin addict they would still continue to experience unpleasant withdrawal symptoms if they do not receive the drug.

If a child has had a hair folical test and tested positive to cocain would the child have ingested it or would it show up if the child was around others that were smoking cocain?
The child probably ingested the drug if they came up positive for cocaine on a drug test. There are some medications, though rarely prescribed to children, that can cause a positive for Cocaine. If the child has recently had surgery, medicated for urination problems, suffers from a mental condition and is medicated for it. There are a few reasons that it is possible, but the younger the child the less likely. All this is possible assuming that the cocaine was ingested For a follicle test it is extremely impossible. The hair is tested, once a false positive is given a new sample is taken and the hair is washed. The wash water is tested and the cleaned hair is tested. If the hair is positive the child ingested it. If the hair is negative and the water is positive then the child was in an environment where illegal drugs were being used.
