Activists point to MDs prescribing off-label drugs to children…
In this article, author Evelyn Pringle exposes the questionable use of psychiatric drugs on children and the illegal marketing of these drugs to MDs for their off-label use. The questions NURSES should be asking themselves is should we be condoning this practice by following such physician’s orders to give them? How do we consent to give them without first being sure that the family understands completely what they are being given and what the side effects could be? Isn’t it about time we collectively said “Wait a minute, let’s stop and check this out!”? Please read this article, then sign the petition below:
