Case scenario
Joyce, 76, lives independently and takes seven regular medicines with various dosing frequencies. She struggles to manage her medicines, especially with frequent brand changes due to supply issues. To help herself remember, Joyce recently began placing her daily tablets in a dish on the kitchen bench. During a visit, her 6-year-old grandson mistook the tablets for lollies and was about to swallow them when he was stopped just in time. Joyce is shaken by the incident and distressed by what could have happened.
