You are reading page 2 of State Survey all this week.

And yes, those small details are usually what they catch the "good" facilities on, but also remember to check yourself on daily habits, for example, EACH med must be in its own medicine cup

Really, each med in it's own medicine cup? What if they 7 or 8 meds, are you really going to carry in that many cups?

When my facility had our supervisors observe our medpass.. to prepare for state, I had a GT patient who had several meds.. I crushed each med seperately in each cup and stacked them on top of each other.

I am one of the many who find the whole policy silly as all the meds mix in the stomach anyway..

We have residents who take 28 meds. I think the OP meant GTube meds in a separate cup
