When administering medication to a resident, I always follow the proper protocol and the five rights of medication administration right resident, right medication, right dose, right route, and right time. I also make sure to verify the resident’s identity check for any allergies and ensure that the resident understands what they’re taking if possible. After administering the medication, I document it properly and monitor the resident for any side effects or changes in condition. Communication is key I always notify the nurse or appropriate party of any concerns immediately.
