Thought of the day: How many diverse and wonderful places do we find Medications to administer? Literally any environment where you find medics/nurses/paramedics there will follow a bag of medications administered under various protocols (PGDs/MSOP/JRCALC/Prescription). The Nursing Notes states that 60% of drug errors happen at the administration phase. There is no worse feeling of making a mistake and realising it cant be undone. I urge all providers who administer medications to refresh themselves with the 10 rights of administering medications. https://lnkd.in/eS_xysTE administration/#:~:text=The%2010%20Rights%20of%20Medications%20Administration%201%201.,Right%20documentation%20...%208%208.%20Right%20to%20refuse #patientsafety #medications #drugerrors Colin Frensham Clare Tidal Training Direct Ltd.

Shouting from the rooftops: Providers please stop prescribing insulin to patients without 1:1 education on how to administer it, explaining signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia, and a prescription for Gvoke or Baqsimi! We are in such a hurry to remove the RNs from physician offices and replace them with lower cost medical assistants that we are forgetting the patient at the forefront! RNs are educated in assessing patients needs, identifying SDoH (“I can’t afford to fill this medication,” or “I don’t understand what it’s for?”) providing education on injectable administration, side effects, resources, etc. If providers are going to replace the registered nurse in the office then the responsibility of assessment of SDoH and education falls on the prescriber, not the unlicensed staff. We are setting patients up to fail. When they return in three months with an A1c that hasn’t changed they are being shamed and stigmatized into believing it’s their fault when they were never given an opportunity to succeed.
