if a resident knocks the medication from the nurses hands, what is the procedure followed in UK?

Answer 1

I presume you mean a patient knocking the medication out of your hands in an act of aggression? If this is the case the reason for the aggression must be established and reported approariately. Is it part of the patients condition? Does it require treatement? Does it need to reported to and managed by security services or the Police? The medication should also by retrieved when possible and destroyed safely. The refusal to accept the medication has to be recorded and the incident logged in patient notes and on a reportable incident form for the health and safety executive. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

If you mean that the medication will then have to be duplicated, then another clinician needs to sign to agree what happened to the first dose, and justify the issuing of a second.
