Are there any medical assistants or nurses that can please help me with this question?


What security procedures do you follow for drugs kept in the office?
I need at least 3 different ways in order to write this paper.
Please help in any way you can. Thank you!

I don't know if I can help you, but I figured I would answer since no one else has. I am a vet tech and we have procedures for drugs that we use. First of all when the drugs are delivered only certain people can accept them and they are immediately written down in a log book and then put away. Only certain people have access to our "drug cabinet". The cabinet is hooked up to a computer system. When a drug is needed to administer to an animal, certain codes and information such as the dosage needed, are plugged into the computer and a drawer pops open which contains the drug. The syringe(s) are then made up and the drugs put back. If the drugs are not put back an alarm sounds after awhile. I hope that helps.
