D.I.Y morphine prescribing

Like many acute Trusts our hospital keeps patients details (nursing kardex, brugs chart, etc.) at the end of the patients bed.

We have had an incident this week where a patient self prescribed, and recieved, morphine.

Just a word of warning really, as this is easily done by any individual that feels so inclined!

Re: D.I.Y morphine prescribing

We had a patient a while back that we were convinced had increased his own morphine prescription.

Trouble is that with multiple Dr's altering prescription sheets (and often just altering figures, rather than re-writng the entire script) it can be hard to work out who altered what and when.

Re: D.I.Y morphine prescribing

This problem was highlighted a while back on this forum (an old message that has now been deleted)

As I recall that message highlighted two or three other instances of inpatients either self-prescribing opioids, or increasing existing doses.
