What’s the difference between medication assistance and administration at home?

Under Alberta’s MAP, unregulated providers may assist (e.g., reminders, opening packaging, handing a dose) as directed by the care plan; administration (drawing/delivering a dose, injections) requires a regulated nurse within scope. We assign the right provider for each task.
