If this happens, harm to the person can occur and some reactions can be deadly . In the past, you may have heard of the five rights of medication administration: right patient, right drug, right route, right time, and right dose. medical practices have changed to include a few more rights . right time- the time a medication is given is important. check the frequency of the ordered medication. double check that you are giving the ordered dose at the correct time. confirm when the last dose was given <BR/>A record review of The Institute for Safe Medication Practices website, Guidelines for Timely Administration of Scheduled Medications (Acute) | Institute For Safe Medication Practices (ismp.org) , accessed 05/24/2024, titled, Guidelines for Timely Administration of Scheduled Medications revealed, .How to Use the Guidelines: These guidelines are applicable ONLY to scheduled medications (see definition section) .

These 'rights' came into being during an era in medicine in which the precedent was that an error committed by a provider was that provider's sole responsibility and patients did not have as much involvement in their own care.[2]; The five traditional rights in the traditional sequence include: . 'Right time' - administering medications at a time that was intended by the prescriber. Often, certain drugs have specific intervals or window periods during which another dose should be given to maintain a therapeutic effect or level. A guiding principle of this 'right' is that medications should be prescribed as closely to the time as possible, and nurses should not deviate from this time

LVN A further stated that the morning tube feeding had to be given by 8:00 a.m. and the second was ordered for 12:30 p.m. and that the tube feedings could be given an hour before or an hour after the ordered times. <BR/>During an interview on 01/18/2022 at 1:06 p.m. LVN A confirmed that Resident #44's 12:30 p.m. enteral tube feeding was given at 1:18 p.m. on 01/17/2022 according to the medication administration record available to the nurse showing the time on the EMR (electronic medical record) at the nurses station. <BR/>During an interview on 01/18/22 at 1:58 p.m. LVN A stated Resident #44's head of bed should have been elevated 30 to 45 degrees for 30 minutes to 1 hour after receiving enteral tube feeding. <BR/>During an interview on 01/18/2022 at 3:55 p.m. the ADON stated that the procedure after a tube (enteral) feeding was the head of bed should be elevated 30 to 45 degrees and that a resident should already be in that position due to tube feedings for all times. ADON further stated that Resident #44's order read that she should have been elevated for at least an hour after administration of feeding. ADON also stated that most of the time the CNAs should already know that the head of bed should be elevated 30 to 45 degrees and CNAs should already know that residents have received their tube feeding. ADON stated that the Task Care Plan should tell CNAs to make sure the head of the bed is elevated, and she then confirmed that Resident #44's Task Care Plan (under the CNA task care plan in the electronic medical record) did say that head of bed was to be elevated at all times. ADON continued to state that the evaluation was to prevent aspiration (when something enters your airway or lungs by accident). <BR/>During an interview on 01/19/2022 at 2:33 p.m. the DON stated that if residents are a bolus fed (a way of receiving a set amount of feed as required, without use of a feeding pump.

DON further stated that if CNAs provide care during care the CNA may need to lower head of bed but once completed care CNA should position bed back to elevations of 30 to 45 degrees and that by not having resident elevated it could put resident at risk for aspiration. <BR/>During an interview at 01/19/2022 at 2:55 p.m. administrator stated that the facility did not have a tube (enteral) feeding policy. <BR/>Record Review on 01/19/2022 at 3:01 p.m. of the Regency Integrated Health Services Policy and Procedure Nursing Services Manual revealed that there was not a tube feeding policy. <BR/>Review of a CDC article dated March 26, 2004 and titled Guidelines for preventing Health-Care-Associated Pneumonia stated, Prevention of Aspiration associated with enteral feeding: elevate at an angle of 30-45 degrees of the head of the bed of a patient at high risk for aspiration (A person who has an enteral tube in place.)
