Once, a resident had a severe allergic reaction to a medication. I immediately followed the emergency protocol, stopped the medication, and administered the prescribed antihistamine. I also notified the nurse and physician promptly. This experience reinforced the importance of staying calm and following protocols in critical situations.

I use a systematic approach, double-checking each medication against the prescription, the resident's name, and the time of administration. I also maintain a logbook to track all medications given. This method ensures zero errors and provides a clear record for audits and accountability.

I explain medications in simple terms, ensuring residents understand their purpose and potential side effects. I also encourage questions and provide written information if needed. Engaging residents in their care helps them feel more involved and less anxious about their medication regimen.

I approach conflicts with empathy and patience, understanding that resistance might stem from fear or misunderstanding. I take the time to listen and explain the medical necessity of the medication. If needed, I consult with the supervising nurse or doctor to address the resident's concerns professionally.

I am proficient in using EHR systems, which I used extensively in my previous role. I understand the importance of accurate documentation and timely updates. My experience includes entering medication orders, tracking dosages, and reviewing medical histories, ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations.
