hi, we are having a very difficult managing our time pulling scheduled meds due to constant interruptions from the "needy" PRN seekers. And, then the true patients in need of meds get lost in this mix. We are trying to find a way to somehow contain this, and was wondering how you all handle this, or have any suggestions. We have tried to have in our first group to have pts that think they need PRns between that group and dinner see the charge nurse(ME), and I make a list and submit to LPN, thus a t least one long interruption. And also making a daily accountability check list for meeting daily goals, which include weaning oneself from the every four hour PRN request. Any other ideas??
