Which of the following is not allowed to be administered by a Caregiver?

  1. An over-the-counter pain reliever

  2. An antidepressant

  3. A prescribed antibiotic cream applied to an open wound

  4. An antacid for heartburn

The correct answer is: A prescribed antibiotic cream applied to an open wound

Administering medication to an open wound can be dangerous and lead to infection. Therefore, it is not allowed for a caregiver to apply a prescribed antibiotic cream to an open wound. The other options (A, B, and D) are all allowed to be administered by a caregiver, as long as the caregiver has been properly trained and follows the instructions and dosages recommended by the healthcare provider.
