The morning medication pass is when one of the med nurses at Mountainside Residential Care goes from room to room providing each patient with their medications. A computer is attached to the medication cart that provides a certain program that indicates the specific medications each patient receives. Each drawer of the cart is sectioned off for different patients containing various medication boxes that is specific to each patient. Everything within the cart contains a label that includes the patients name, their date of birth, room number, what the medication is and the dosage of that medication. Keeping all the medications labeled and organized is a method to cut down on medication errors.
