Study Notes
Medication Administration Guidelines and Insulin Administration Training
- Medication administration involves the 5 Rights: Right Patient/Client, Medication, Dose, Route, and Time
- Unlicensed personnel can place medications in a pill box and administer them if trained and supervised
- If pills are mixed up or missing, the supervisor should be notified immediately, and medications should not be given
- Documentation of medication given, including name, strength, dose, amount, route, and time, is crucial
- Disposal of medications that are dropped or become unusable is the responsibility of the RN/Supervisor
- Unlicensed personnel must not throw away medication and should keep unusable medication in a safe place for proper disposal
- The unlicensed person's responsibility includes being aware of potential side effects of medication and when to contact the RN or office
- Insulin administration by unlicensed personnel is allowed under direct supervision after proper training
- Diabetes is caused by inadequate insulin production or inability to use insulin effectively, leading to serious complications if untreated
- Diabetes can be managed through diet, weight loss, exercise, and medications, such as those stimulating insulin production
- Insulin can only be administered through injection and requires specific training and supervision
- Training for insulin administration cannot be transferred between patients; each patient must be individually trained
