Narcotic Care

Hi All,

We have had an issue at both er’s involving narcotic accountability.
PLEASE: always get narcotics/controlled substances through nursing so they can chart and account for all meds. They are now using a “two nurse” sign off system.
PLEASE: Never take narcotics/controlled substances out yourself.

I know this may seem silly if we verbaly tell staff what what are doing but if we just don’t access these meds ourselves we will never be on the hook if some is unaccounted for!!

thanks
JOHN
