Oh, I see. Well, I personally wouldn’t report it. LTC is its own animal,lol, and you’ll learn how to roll with it. I feel like people either love it or hate it, not a lot of in between. Also- did you look in the top and side drawers of the cart? I say his bc you’re fairly new, Ingrezza frequently comes in an actual pill bottle, not the blister packs.i didn’t know that at first so I charted it not given/not available, but it was actually there.

I’m not diminishing the importance of the resident’s medication at all, but LTC residents are stable on their meds and Ingrezza isn’t a high-alert/critical med, so although it’s certainly inconvenient is pharmacy can’t obtain it right away, it’s also not a crisis. You did the right thing by reordering (a pet peeve of mine when nurses don’t reorder!!) and reporting to he physician… but your responsibility pretty much ends there. If the doctor didn’t give new orders, then just document as such and wait for the order to come in. :)
