简要总结
Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are two of the most commonly used medication products among children <12 years old, and these medications are frequently prescribed for patients leaving the emergency department (ED), but previous studies have shown that parents often leave the ED unsure of how to safely dose these medications at home. This study will be a randomized controlled trial of a brief medication safety intervention, and examining parental knowledge and implementation of appropriate weight-based dosing.
