Answer #1

#. 213.38 section of Nursing practice act and the Board Rules address

#. We have two ways of wasting. First is to have another RN present when the med is removed from the Pyxis. They sign into the Pyxis as a witness when the medication is being removed, then you would draw up the dose (or cut the tablet) and waste the rest in front of the witnessing RN.

The other way is to pull out the full dose from the Pyxis without a witnessing RN. In this case, we would just draw up the amount we need and save the rest until we can find another RN to waste the remaining med. There is no time limit on when this needs to be done by.
