Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Virginia
School nurse administering medication
My son was recently given eye drops during school hours without parental notification. The emergency card was signed but this was not an emergency, the nurse admitted she ''diagnosed'' it as allergies and administered the visine drops as the ''cure''. Can medication be administered in non-emergency situations without parental notification?

Re: School nurse administering medication
So, eye drops were administered by the school nurse during school hours and without proper parental notification(or so you allege). If true, what possible harm could've come to your son as a result of this allegedly
unauthorized act?
After all, you're talking about the administering of Visine eye drops and not an appendectomy.
