Intermediate Medications

Med Entry: Complex

Some medications have dosages that vary day-to-day. In ResiDex, we call these "Complex Medications." A few examples of complex medications would include:

A medication given at varying dosages on certain days and a different dose on other days
A medication given a certain dosages on a rotating basis (every 2, 3, 4, etc. days)
A medication that is given at a specified dosage schedule and also the same or different dose "as needed"

For all of these examples, the medication will be entered twice into the Resident Medication screen.

Med Entry: Monthly

Medications, at times, are ordered to be given monthly on a specified day of the month. Residex med entry can accommodate this requirement.

There are a number of reasons staff may need to document a medication has been disposed of: the med was discontinued by the MD; it was released to the resident; the med expired; the resident was discharged; or the medication was spilled, dropped, or spoiled.

Whatever the reason, it is best to document the disposal or destruction of any medication not administered to the resident under your care.
