Yeah, this reads like an AITA post and the answer to op is yes lol. I feel like this is 100% not an autonomy issue like op said either. This is hopefully the pt’s home meds or something but what if it was something that needs levels? The 5 rights are for pt safety and right time is one of the easiest to remember. I think your reply explains it best.
I wouldn’t. They either take them when I’m in there or they don’t. You can’t chart they took it if you didn’t see it. If they are aaox4 why can’t you just explain to them they need to take the meds with you present?
