A: Generally speaking, the physician orders penicillins to combat infection and most of the time they are aware of any Allergies that a patient may have. It's important to follow the guidelines provided by your doctor when taking antibiotics because even though you may feel better after a few days of taking them, the infection may not be completely gone.
If you are part of the medical support staff that is NOT a physician (nurse, cna, medication aide), only administer the medication if it is in your scope of practice.
If for any reason you KNOW for SURE that the patient has an allergy to penicillins, or you KNOW that the drug dosage has been miscalculated by the physician, DO NOT administer the medication. This is considered medical malpractice. Follow the necessary steps for drug re-calculation and fixing medical errors on paperwork, and then administer the penicillin only if it will not be harmful to the patient.
