Administer medicines is one of the most serious responsabilities and is crucial to understand how to do it

It depends on the resident though, I think leaving the bottle/container of drugs on the table while going to dissolve the one to be taken may be wrong. How sure are you that the resident will not overdose by taking all?

I thought this video was great. Very well though out and executed. My only concern was that the carer was wearing a bracelet, a watch and a ring. This goes against our care company policy for infection control. I therefore cannot use the video for training purposes.

You can't just ask a resident what their name is as they may have a cognitive impairment such as dementia and a name and photo must be displayed in their room to easily identify them as they could be another resident from a different room

There was also no check that the medication was out of date. Normally we put a time rather than just “morning “ as there may be multiple meds required in the morning which can not be taken without a time between them. Or some meds taken before with or after meals… the liquids should be poured on the side away from the label so it does not spill on the label and obscure it.

No PPE worn, she left the patient unattended with the medication, she didn't check her name on the MAR chart. So many other red flags as well

Nice

I cannot use this video for training purposes. The staff member needs to be wearing PPE (gloves and apron), and should not measure dose of Gaviscon in mid-air - should be flat surface at eye level. A shot of the staff member checking the correct time is also preferable.

Please send more

And she said that she is going to put her gloves on.

many red flags raised on this video personally no PPE worn medication dispensed with in the same med pots, pouring meds in mid air med stock count if different care worker coming no record of time documented plus printed Mar chart which cannot be used only pharmacy or hospital mar chart

Everything is alright but the problem is don't leave the patient unattended

Great to watch, but should be wearing PPE!!

I thought it wasn't great Practice to put all tablets in one cup?

hi

Has a nice little back side...

Omg never measure liquid meds in the air

Nice video , but she do not even wear gloves that is against our policies me also
