Just today i identified and labeled i know a hundred or more loose pills and still have more to go.
Dropped pills on the floor.
A bathroom floor would be a no.
If you find it on the floor strongpak it.
You re free to document whatever you like but i don t think it was necessary in this case.
Eat it man harrisment said.
If you drop it pick it up and keep right on counting.
I dropped nearly all of my lexapro on the floor in my dorm room kitchen which is simply filthy.
For me it would depend on where i dropped the pills a pharmacy is usually cleaner then a garage floor where there may be grease cat hair etc.
Cvs s loose pill disposal process although i swear my techs actively look for loose pills for me to have to strongpak.
Y know i ve never had a patient who wanted a pill that was dropped on the floor but have had ones that dropped a pill into the bedding.
You have a good sense of humor stargazer i am still laughing after reading this post and your previous one.
I picked up all the pills and put them back into the bottle but i m sort of worried about taking them after they were on such a filthy floor.
The nurses then informed the pharmacist on duty that a refill of the medication would be necessary.
Upon finding said pill no matter where in the bed they found it they always popped it back into their mouths.
Wtf man seriously you re taking drugs and worried about the little microbes in the carpet floor.
People drop pills on the floor all the time at home and still take them.
The pills were picked up the from the floor and they disposed of them in the sharps container.
Due to the high cost of the pills the pharmacist immediately contacted their supervisor who in turn contacted the head physician of the facility.
