Abstract

Medications are an important source of intoxication or misuse in the pediatric population. It is therefore important to raise parents' awareness on this point. To do so, a team of professionals has set up an e-learning, presented in the form of a slide show. Nineteen cases were selected, then divided into three themes (administration error, danger and storage error) and in four rooms of the home (living room, bathroom, child's room and parent's room).

Keywords: armoire à pharmacie; e-learning; erreur médicamenteuse; intoxication; medication error; medicine cabinet; simulation.
