CUS

C I am concerned because after

reviewing the chart of a Schizophrenic
patient and i noticed that the
medication Haldol was not given by the
nurse and it might cause bad effect to
the patient if he or she didn’t take the
medication.

U I am uncomfortable because when the

nurse told me that “Oh I forgot to give
that medication, give me the chart and
I’ll sign it. It doesn’t matter if the patient
can’t take 1 medication. There is no
cure for mental illness, am I right?” but
as a nursing student the medication of
the patient is really important to that
patient because that medication is part
of the treatment of the patient.

S This is a Safety issue because the

patient need to take the medication.
Because the medication that was not
taken by the patient is part of his or her
treatment for the condition of
schizophrenia, and lastly the
importance of that medication to the
patient is It also reduces aggression
and the desire to hurt others. It can
decrease negative thoughts and
hallucinations.
NURSING ETHICO MORALE

Nursing action Nursing action-for my nursing action as

a student nurse I should report this to
my clinical instructor regarding about
the medication that was not given to
the patient. Also I must not allow
myself to practice not to be truthful to
my profession as a nurse. Because as
a future nurse we should be more
truthful to giving care to our patient
because the act of truthfulness it is the
basis of the trust relationship
established between a patient.
