Medication Management, Medication Errors, and Drug Regimen Review

Sets out how the Agency protects patients from medication errors: keeping a complete medication list, reviewing the drug regimen, who may administer medications (RNs, LPNs within practical nursing law, never aides beyond the over-the-counter items Louisiana allows), giving only pharmacist-dispensed, properly labeled drugs as ordered, teaching patients and families, intravenous therapy, vaccines, and reporting and learning from medication errors.
