  • For Anyone Who Will Be Hospitalized

    Posted by momof4 on May 20, 2008 at 2:12 pm

    As Julie correctly addressed in another post she makes sure to have a Medication List when her husband will be hospitalized. I also do this, and this is the format of the list I use.

    Name: D.O.B.

    Medications

    1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

    IN AN EMERGENCY CALL: Phone #’s

    Give a brief description about you/your loved one, or any concerns you have such as “Risk for Falling”, “Weakness in Right Arm” etc…

    Have the nurse put it in their chart at admission. Also post another in the patients room.

    Be sure upon discharge that the patient is on the correct drugs/dosages…Don’t sign anything until it is corrected in the computer…

    Some of these things may seem like common sense…Don’t assume so…
