So last night when I was giving my patient her meds in the med cup of course, she dropped them on the floor. It was her synthroid and oxycodone. I told her I would get new pills for her but she insisted on taking them and even got down on her hands and knees to find the two pills. She ended up taking the dropped ones even after I said a few times il throw these ones away and get new ones. Now I'm just beating myself up over it for the fact that I don't know if I should have filled out an incident report or not. I asked another nurse I worked with and she told me not to worry about it, it's okay. Technically, it was all the patient but why am I beating myself up over a dropped and taken pill? Any suggestions on when this happens to you?! (If ever) :/
