She stated the assessment was for them to know if the resident knew how to correctly administer medications and be aware of the times. The DON stated if the resident wanted to keep medications at her bedside a physician order had to be obtained.

Residents may self-administer their own medications only if the attending physician, in conjunction with the interdisciplinary care planning team, has determined that they have the decision-making capacity to do so safely Event ID: Facility ID: 675703 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 2
