I want an opinion if you will....I am an LPN in a nursing home working the evening shift. A nurse on the day shift took an order from a dr. to start a resident on an antibiotic a month prior. She passed onto to me in report the order was taken and the med was ordered from the pharmacy. I have a med tech that passes meds on my shift so never saw the EMAR. I charted in the progress notes that resident continued on antibotic therapy and was afebrile. A month later I find out after the resident has a uti that has festered for a month, that the day nurse never entered the order in the computer or ordered the med from the pharmacy, but, because I charted that entry, I am written up for "falisifying information" because I charted something that wasnt true. I am told it was my fault for not checking on the other nurses order. What do you think? I dont think I am at fault. do you?
