If drawign up meds outside of the meds make sure to
label
What are the rights of med admin
patient med dose route time
What required for the patient
2 ID’s
Consider what for the route
can it be modified like crushing a pill
Consider what for time
what type of order is it (PRN?)
For things that need to be dissolved
consider how the patient might like to take it
For ex: If 8 oz are needed but they haate the taste of the meds, maybe ask if they would like it in a specific liquid or in multiple smaller amounts
When checking for the right meds, double check its the right med by
making sure the label and the back of the med are the same bx the pharmacy could have made an error
