It was my first job as an R.N. at a LTC facility as a charge nurse on the night shift......I was walking out of a resident's room, and a C.N.A. was waiting for me. He was standing there with an adult brief, and in it was this massive amount of light brown gelatinous...what I thought was abnormal b.m.. I thought, Oh my God!...and the next thing I see is my C.N.A taking a big lick of this Glob and I about died! It was chocolate pudding!

I think that I would first find out if this pt. is actually taking the medication..Depakote. Is she swallowing? Usually last stage Alzheimer's have a decreased swallowing ability. Then , if that's the case....I would consider the malabsorbtion of the medication due to the other medications, and the diabetes.
