The three sudden illnesses where assisting with medications is typically part of care are:

  1. Asthma attack (helping the person use their prescribed inhaler).
  1. Severe allergic reaction / anaphylaxis (assisting with their prescribed epinephrine auto‑injector or other ordered meds).
  1. Seizure (assisting only with medications that are specifically prescribed for emergency seizure control, if you are trained and allowed to do so).
