Thank you so much.

Don't forget the 'prepare' part......so you need to explain what details are required to identify the case it relates to, as well as the meds required. Otherwise that should be fine. The wording of the K&U makes it sound like they are looking for something more, but to be honest that should be sufficient.

Have now re-read it and it makes sense! Been doing portfolio all day. Brain slightly fried!

My assessor is rubbish so asking him to do a DOA is pointless,

So........ if I write about how i would record the details of medications on a hospital sheet and initial the entry and include an example of a hospital sheet that should be enough?

Thank you so much!

DOA = Direct Observational Assessment.....it's the one where your assessor writes up what you did, rather than you writing a caselog about it.

for K&U j, you just need to explain how you would write it up....but perhaps cross referencing it to a caselog where you have included a copy of a sheet would be sufficient. Otherwise to be on the safe side, explain the necessity for the case details, perhaps case vet, dates, all the details of the meds required, and the need to mark off each as it is done with persons initials to ensure accountability and stop any errors in dosing.

So confused! What does DOA stand for? (Can only think of Dead On Arrival!)

Am doing if for knowledge and understanding

All you need to do is write up a hospital chart with medications (times / dosages / frequency / etc.) detailed on it, and then mark off with your initials each time you give the meds. Highlight the meds you gave on a photocopy of the form, and use it as additional evidence to support the caselog or DOA you have to evidence the criteria.

Hope that helps!
