    • Follow infection control protocols and safety procedures to ensure a clean and safe environment for residents.
    • Participate in audits, inspections, and medication reconciliation processes to ensure accuracy and compliance with facility policies.

  • Collaboration and Communication:

    • Work closely with RNs, LPNs, and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) to ensure coordinated and holistic care for residents.
    • Communicate effectively with residents and their families, addressing questions and providing updates on care.
    • Respond to emergency situations promptly and assist nursing staff as needed.

  • Documentation and Reporting:

    • Accurately document all medication administration and any changes in residents' conditions in the EHR system.
    • Report any medication errors or discrepancies immediately to the supervising nurse and follow facility procedures for incident reporting.
    • Participate in care planning meetings as required, providing input on residents' medication needs and overall health status.
