Most common LTC meds

[nycNurse2b]

I am looking to compile a list of some of the more common meds seen in LTC. I want to do some studying and brushing up before I have my interview for a LTC RN position.

Also if you can share anything else that is fairly common in a LTC facility that I should review please let me know!

MANY thanks in advance for taking the time to respond
