Residents Affected - Few Findings include: The facility's Self-Administration of Medication Policy dated 8/2017 documents it is the responsibility of the Interdisciplinary Team/IDT to assess and determine if those residents who request to self-medicate can do so. This same policy states, Procedure: A resident may not be permitted to administer or retain any medication in his/her room unless so ordered by the physician. 2. Should the resident's attending physician permit the resident to administer his/her medications, the following conditions will apply: A. The IDT will evaluate the resident's cognitive, physical, and visual ability to self-medicate using the Assessment Form for Self-Administration of Medications. B. The Care Plan will reflect the program of each resident. C. Storage of medication may be in the resident's room or in the locked medication cart. D. Only the medications permitted for self-administration shall be left at the bedside. 1.
