The current PMAT course does not meet the needs of our preschool. We only administer medication in emergency situations (SEVERE ALLERGIES/EPIPEN). I ask that the current PMAT course is changed to include not only the administration of the EPIPEN, but also the administration of BENADRYL. There is a HUGE disconnect between what the PMAT course provides and what doctors are prescribing in regards to ALLERGIES/EPIPENS. Many doctors are now prescribing BENADRYL BEFORE administering the EPIPEN. Half-day preschools who only administer medication in emergency sitiuations must take the MAT course in order to administer BENADRYL & comply with regulations. PLEASE consider changing the PMAT course to include the administration of BENADRYL. It makes sense. PLEASE HELP us SERVE preschoolers with SEVERE ALLERGIES.
