The safest practice is to always enter a medication vial with a sterile needle and sterile syringe. There has been at least one outbreak attributed to healthcare personnel using a common needle and syringe to access multiple multi-dose vials for the purpose of combining their contents into a single syringe [14].
Children and adolescents should do 60 minutes (1 hour) or more of physical activity each day. This may sound like a lot, but don't worry! Your child may already be meeting the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
In addition, children should participate in muscle-strengthening and bone-strengthening activities at least three days a week. Many common school-age activities â such as playing on playground equipment and jumping rope â cover all the bases at once. Organized sports such as baseball or soccer are a great way to stay fit too. But team sports or dance classes aren't the only options. Get creative as you search for activities your child enjoys.
