Hi im a nurse and i ll try to help. The pharmacist would advise staff to keep meds under lock and key at times outwith drug rounds. The bottles, boxes and cartons should be clearly marked with patients name and instructions clearly labelled. Each pt should have their own area or shelf in the trolley for speed and less confusion. For monitoring, all nursing homes would have a system usually called a kardex for documenting where each pt has their own pages with meds printed on it and spaces for the nurse to sign.


Class A or controlled drugs are different, they are not kept on the trolley but always locked in a cabinet. These are checked daily by two registered nurses and amounts verified. If they need to be used then this process is the same, two nurses, two signatures. Hope this helps, Good Luck.What advise would a pharmacist advice to care homes regarding the storage and monitoring of drugs ?
The home where my aunt was had photos of every resident with their med record on the med cart.
