I thought this video was great. Very well though out and executed. My only concern was that the carer was wearing a bracelet, a watch and a ring. This goes against our care company policy for infection control. I therefore cannot use the video for training purposes.
I cannot use this video for training purposes. The staff member needs to be wearing PPE (gloves and apron), and should not measure dose of Gaviscon in mid-air - should be flat surface at eye level. A shot of the staff member checking the correct time is also preferable.
You can't just ask a resident what their name is as they may have a cognitive impairment such as dementia and a name and photo must be displayed in their room to easily identify them as they could be another resident from a different room
There was also no check that the medication was out of date. Normally we put a time rather than just “morning “ as there may be multiple meds required in the morning which can not be taken without a time between them. Or some meds taken before with or after meals… the liquids should be poured on the side away from the label so it does not spill on the label and obscure it.
It depends on the resident though, I think leaving the bottle/container of drugs on the table while going to dissolve the one to be taken may be wrong. How sure are you that the resident will not overdose by taking all?
many red flags raised on this video personally no PPE worn medication dispensed with in the same med pots, pouring meds in mid air med stock count if different care worker coming no record of time documented plus printed Mar chart which cannot be used only pharmacy or hospital mar chart
