in seeking clients consent where client medication is concerned ,the carer needs to have precise knowledge of the three items listed below explain what information your client may require for each,
1/ the nature of the medicine
2/ what it is given for
3/ how it is to be given
also identify three other questions a client may ask

Why have you posted the same question twice in one day, it has been answered further down this page or here: http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Body-and-Soul/Q uestion349136.html
blimey, i hope we'll all be getting a certificate at the end!

Anyway 1) they may need to know whether its a liqid or tablet. They may need to know whether they swallow it, put it under the tongue, use it a s a suppository, or pessary or inhale it.
2) probably if you are doing nvq you wont be expected to have an in depth knowledge of the biochemistry, but i would at least expect you to let the clients know "these are your painkillers" or "these are your heart medications"
Good lord...you obviously haven't done it before, have you? Those are pretty common sense questions, I think.
Now, what the client may ask, at random:
How many times a day (but you should have told them that already, anyway)
Any side effects to be expected?
Is it going to make me drowsy, ie: better to take it at night or in the morning?
Can it interfere with any other medication I'm on (eg: the pill)?
Can it be taken whilst pregnant?
Effects of drinking alcohol?

Hope this helps....
