  • In order to properly document it, there would need to be visual confirmation of the medication being taken, and if it’s refused the medication needs to not be in the patients access. Otherwise OP is not a reliable historian and is unfit for their job as they refuse to comply with standard of care.

    I’m on clinical rotations right now , and I literally just asked the nurse next to me about this and she said OP is dead wrong.



  • Imo it depends on the patient. If the patient says they take the meds but their signs - vitals, telemetry, routine labs, PE, etc show otherwise - then it’s your responsibility to confirm or deny patient medication adherence.

    I’d like to say a functioning healthcare team means that the top level providers will trust their nurse’s judgement about the patients they are in charge of.

    But at the end of the day this is about treating patients and ensuring that a standard of care is met. Part of that standard is allowing for shared decision making, non paternalistic care, etc.

    But again, it is your responsibility to know what is happening with the patient. It’s not really that you’re forcing the patient to adhere, it’s to confirm if they take it or not.

    Reminder that aljazeera is a Quatari state funded media outlet that tends to sensationalize violence against Palestenians and ignore cases where organizations like Hamas perpetrate violence. this is done to support their agenda of eradicating a Jewish state on a land that is home to the Jewish people and is also a place where many Palestenians call home. Aljazeera at it’s heart is an anti-semetic organization, run by a government that does not care for Jews, and therefore their anti-zionist reporting often ventures into anti-semitism.

    Violence like this is deplorable and should never happen, when it does, should be sanctioned. I do not think this source is unbiased in their reporting and does not make earnest work towards supporting peaceful outcomes in the region.
