Thank you all for youe input RN1964

I am looking for a best practice and procedure for noting physicians orders I can not find a regulation on this and i am educating nurses on a best practice procedure Basic standard is to note the order once recieved than a second nurse is to double check and note the orders finally night shift is to recheck the charts on the units and check all new orders of the day for accuracy Does anyone else have any Ideas. Thank you RN1964

This explanation of care is actually neglectful and does not follow best practice standards I would be very verbal and and very direct as all residents can be affected and if you step up and make the difference for your mom you start a chage of standards that will benefit those there that do not have a voice. Residential care units are held to a standard of care as is LTC and the need to be toileted is not a luxary but a a necessity and expectation no matter what level of care. RN1964
