ing at the new orders and states, “Wow, 1000mg of Depakene sounds like a lot of medication.” The nurse then retrieves the medication and proceeds to give A.L. the Depakene. As you look at the medication adm
inistration record, you notice that the writ
ing is very sloppy. It is difficult to read the actual mg amount of the medication. The next day, you are called to the unit manager’s office. The unit manager would like you to tell her what happened with the 78-year-old patient, as she died dur
ing the night.
J.M., a 48-year-old male Navaho tribe member, is brought to your unit with suicidal ideation and a diagnosis of alcohol abuse. J.M. refused the psychotropic medications prescribed to him on the unit. The psychiatrist told the nurse to hide the medic
ine
in his food. The even
ing nurse complied with this order. When the man noticed that there was a pill
in his food, he asked the nurse what was happen
ing. The nurse stated, “You must take your medications. You will be sick without them.” The man turned the table over and was consequently put
in restra
