dropped pill

[RN always]

I dropped a iron pill on the floor yesterday when I was opening the package. Now, since I am a new grad and I was always taught that when this happens to throw the pill away, I did just that. I then ordered a new one thru the computer. One of the other more experienced nurses looked at me like I was nuts! What would you guys do? I know that if I was the patient, I would want another pill.

Yep! I would chuck it too!!!

Good call!!!
