Please keep your answers coming! Module 9 is my last so the end is in sight.

About how many inmates come over for pharmacy line in the morning?

Do you have to make absolutely certain that inmates take their medication on pharmacy line?

How much medication would you estimate inmates flush down the toilet in your facility (a percentage)?"

When you get orders from sick line or pshysician sick line do you fax them out during the day or do you wait until the end of the day?

1. We have >300

2. We crush all psychotropic meds with a MD order. We cannot be totally certain that the i/m take their meds, we dispense the rest is up to security

3. Are you talking staff or i/m"s? we do not destroy meds by flushing them down the toilet. We send the meds back to the pharmacy and or destroy the when a pharmacist is present.

4. We fax meds to our pharmacy several times throuout the day. We have a contract pharmacy
