Write the dose given in this box. Narration to be synched with the appearance of Picture 2 (medication page) Often residents require some form of medicine in between their regular prescribed doses. These are referred to as PRN (as required medicines). These can be important in keeping a resident well and assist the prescriber to monitor the therapeutic levels required without increasing a dose and/or adding another medicine. It is therefore important to refer to the regular medicine section to see if the PRN medicine is ordered as a \u2018breakthrough\u2019 or \u2018rescue dose\u2019 to ensure that the time between regular doses and PRN doses are correct with the prescriber\u2019s orders. You also need to check the maximum dose as per the PRN order and to ensure the your reason for giving the resident a PRN medicine and the prescriber\u2019s indication for when to administer the dose are correct. For example, the PRN dose may be prescribed for back pain or increased agitation or for pain. The effectiveness of the PRN medicine is also important in understanding whether the desired effect has been achieved in order for the prescriber to either adjust the PRN dose/type of drug or cease it. For example, has the pain lessened? or has the agitation lessened? Remaining narration to be text as shown on screen to be synched as they appear.
