I read a while back some posts about putting "med not available" on the med sheet if a med could not be located, and it seemed like this was a generally practiced proceedure for documentation. So, after not being able to locate a patients eyedrop late one night I circled it, and put med not available. Well I was recently reprimanded for this by my nse mgr who said I would be written up as this was an omission of medication. If it is late at night and the med is not there (in an LTC facility with no internal pharmacy), what are you supposed to do????? :uhoh21: I'm certainly not borrowing another patients eyedrop!
