Help me please! I'm stuck and don't know what to do. As most nursing students probably do, I often find myself thinking about patients that I've had in clinical. Usually I lay in bed at night and run through my day, and what I can do better, and so forth. Well recently I was thinking about one of my patients that I had near the beginning of the semester and for some reason began to question whether or not I made a med error. I don't know if my mind is playing tricks on me because we've been talking about all of the legal stuff in class, or if I really made the error, but it's driving me crazy. I remember I had to give 1/2 a pill of Reglan, and I remember going over my medications with my instructor, and taking my pill cutter in the room. For some reason though, I cannot remember cutting that pill!! At this point it was about 4 weeks ago, and I realize it's too late to help the patient if by some chance I DID make an error but I don't know why I can't get it out of my head! Should I mention this to my instructor even though I don't know for sure if I actually made an error? Or will I just look like a crazy person? I want to do the right thing, but I don't even know if I did anything wrong for sure. Advice please!
