Prescription and medication records

Bridgit Dimond. Br J Nurs. 2005.

Abstract

All nurses are required to keep contemporaneous records which are unambiguous and legible. The NMC has reprinted the UKCC guidelines for records and record keeping (UKCC, 1998). The Department of Health has provided advice in its guidance on the implementation of independent nurse prescribing on the standards for prescription writing (DH, 2002).
