Epinephrine
 

I strongly oppose the use of undesignated epinephrine in childcare centers. Not only would it be an expense to all centers, but I feel that it is dangerous. We are not medical professionals, which is why we require a doctor to prescribe all medications and provide us with an action plan.  This is to ensure that we know exactly what to do. The margin for error would be a huge liability.
