According to the discussed documents, Jo’s lack of competence was evident as demonstrated through her medication error, she had an inability to keep to her scope of practice and also to the medication management system created in the residential aged facility.

Neither did she demonstrate the important values…

This can also be seen when Doris cleaned her up after discovering some cuts on her arms. Though it was a nice gesture, the substitute is supposed to avoid contact with bodily fluids unless absolutely needed.…

    Dr. Johnson gave me a bag full of prescriptions and I used the Drug ID function on my Lexi-Comp to identify each vial. Close to the end of my shift, a nurse approached the pharmacy asking us to do a medication reconciliation on a patient who had recently been admitted to the floor. This had been his second time being admitted to the hospital in the last week so he was no stranger to the floor. Dr. Johnson explained to me that since he was a recent admit, she could print his past medication list from his last visit and we could use that as a guide for our reconciliation. When we entered the room, the patient seemed lethargic and confused, after introducing ourselves, I began the reconciliation process.…
