Answer #1

If the patient prefers to have medication at a different time, if there is no contraindications, the nurse has to attempt to have the medication rescheduled. Then the nurse may engage in some workarounds. Workarounds are charting that the medication was given and then giving it at a later time.

Disadvantages

  • It will affect patient safety and clinical productivity
  • Missing of dose can occur, if the shift got changed, another nurse might think it as given as its charted and the patient will not get it again.
