Question

What do you do if you find medication has been missed? Tick the correct steps below. Determine whether the resident received the medication by asking the resident if they were actually administered the medication (if they can answer reliably) Not worry about it because the resident will have further doses of this drug either later in the day or again the next day. Contact staff on the shift involved to ask if they remember giving the medication (did they forget to sign?). Report medication incident immediately to Supervisor, Team Leader and Registered Nurse for follow-up. Accurately document what medication was missed and time missed in TCM and complete an incident report for missed medication. Missed medication are not considered a reportable incident so no incident report is required in this case.
