We have been told NC law dictates that medications be given within a 30 minute window now instead of 1 hr. We are having a great deal of difficulty adhereing to this regulation. We are a long term acute in pt facility. It is not uncommon for pt's to have 10 or more meds due at 0900. This is only 1 pt! Our general pt load is 3-4 pts. Is anyone else having this trouble or do you have any suggestions Thanks
We have "unlimited family visiting"...the "wave of the future". I don't need to go into the problems.....we were thinking of having family select from a list when they would "routinely"visit. Each member could select a different time, and we could actually care for their family member. Any ideas ? What do you do with the "unlimited family visiting"??? Thanks
