My wife was admitted earlier this afternoon around 6pm. Everything was going well until it was time for my wife to receive her 9pm medications. My wife’s nurse, Christy, told me that she would not DISPENSE my wife’s medications because she didn’t not have ORDERS or something in writing from a Doctor or someone higher up giving her permission to administer the meds. By the way, Christy was very aggressive in her stance against not giving out the medications. Two other nurses that were in the room overheard Christy telling me what she couldn’t do and what she couldn’t do because, as she stated, “I am not going to lose my nursing license “ over giving meds to a person without any orders. I desperately tried to get in contact with my wife’s Hospice nurse to see if she could call the nursing facility and get this straightened out. She finally received some medical records from the local hospital which showed the medications that were prescribed to her for her Parkinson’s Disease. She told me that she would only give my wife the meds that were highlighted on that document. However, she would not allow herself to dispense a prescription called [detail removed]. The only thing she was generous with is letting me give my wife her meds which I did around 9pm: [detail removed], and [detail removed]. My question has to do with——CARE COOPERATION! Was Christy correct in denying my wife her Parkinson’s Disease medication or was she wrong in how she handled the matter. My wife’s nurse gave me some important information regarding this unfortunate incident. We’ll just have to see what she tells her supervisor. Please check your surveillance camera. It will show how displeased both of us were during this stressful situation.
