Dropped Pills On The Floor

Y know i ve never had a patient who wanted a pill that was dropped on the floor but have had ones that dropped a pill into the bedding.

Dropped pills on the floor.

Due to the high cost of the pills the pharmacist immediately contacted their supervisor who in turn contacted the head physician of the facility. People drop pills on the floor all the time at home and still take them. I picked up all the pills and put them back into the bottle but i m sort of worried about taking them after they were on such a filthy floor. Just today i identified and labeled i know a hundred or more loose pills and still have more to go.

So there we go searching through sheets and blankets and gown. I dropped nearly all of my lexapro on the floor in my dorm room kitchen which is simply filthy. Upon finding said pill no matter where in the bed they found it they always popped it back into their mouths. You have a good sense of humor stargazer i am still laughing after reading this post and your previous one.

Wtf man seriously you re taking drugs and worried about the little microbes in the carpet floor. Eat it man harrisment said. For me it would depend on where i dropped the pills a pharmacy is usually cleaner then a garage floor where there may be grease cat hair etc. If you find it on the floor strongpak it.

The nurses then informed the pharmacist on duty that a refill of the medication would be necessary. Cvs s loose pill disposal process although i swear my techs actively look for loose pills for me to have to strongpak. You re free to document whatever you like but i don t think it was necessary in this case. If you drop it pick it up and keep right on counting.

That doesn t make them mentally ill.
