Personal Care

Administration of Medications
If a service user has medicine requirements, our team will help administer the medication if needed.
There are 6 different ways of administrating medicine:
- Orally – means by swallowing the medicine.
- Rectal – Used as a suppository by people who are unable to swallow
- Inhalation is the process of taking the medicine as an aerosol spray, powder, or mist –such as with an asthma inhaler.
- Nebulization – resembles inhalation in that the medicine is delivered in the form of a fine mist.
- Transdermal – which is similar to a patch that has been mixed with a chemical to allow it to enter the body and bloodstream without breaking the skin.
- Injection – which is when medicine is injected into the body through 4 different sites: intrathecal (into the spine), subcutaneous (under the skin), intravenous (into a vein) and intramuscular (into a muscle).
