When can drugs be removed and administered from the ancillary drug supply at a nursing home?

Following an order from a physician (must notify pharmacist within 48 hours) and if a control, with pharmacist approval before removal; can take enough medication to cover 96 hours
Following an order from a nurse; must notify pharmacist within 24 hours
Only with written approval from the nursing home administrator; can take medication for 72 hours
During an emergency or with the approval of any medical staff

The correct answer is: Following an order from a physician (must notify pharmacist within 48 hours) and if a control, with pharmacist approval before removal; can take enough medication to cover 96 hours

In a nursing home setting in Wyoming, drugs from the ancillary drug supply can be removed and administered following an order from a physician. However, it is essential to notify the pharmacist within 48 hours of the removal. If the drug is a controlled substance, pharmacist approval is required before removal, and enough medication can be taken to cover 96 hours. This process ensures proper oversight, control, and documentation of medications administered from the ancillary drug supply. Therefore, option A is correct. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the specific requirements outlined in Wyoming regulations for the removal and administration of drugs from the ancillary drug supply at a nursing home.
