Nope....only the major ones....anticoagulants and antipsychotics. Our people average 28 meds ... the care plans would be the size of War and Peace.
So, do you care plan the target behaviors associated with antipsychotics? I am in the process of reviewing our care plans to include non medication interventions. Now if the census will stay up so I can have enough staff to implement them.
You can care plan it with the drug or on a separate behavior care plan. Non-pharmacologic interventions should always be tried before medications. As you know, you have to have resident specific care plans since what works for one resident might not work for another.

Should you care plan each individual medication for a resident? We keep getting different answers from everybody. Thanks
