Overview
This flow describes how to record a dose of a prescribed medicine that staff gave to a patient during an encounter in MANSOQ.
Pre-requisites

- The medicine is prescribed on the encounter. See Prescribe a medication.
- The medicine is active. MANSOQ does not let you administer a discontinued medicine.
- The encounter is open. You cannot record a dose when the encounter status is Completed, Cancelled, Discontinued, or Entered in Error.
- You have the permission listed below.

Steps

Note: Press g then m to go to the Medicines tab.
MANSOQ shows a grid. The Medicine column lists the prescribed medicines. Four columns to the right show six-hour time slots.
2. Find the medicine
MANSOQ opens the grid on the Medications tab. Select the Nutrition tab for nutritional products. To narrow the list, enter the name in the Search Medication box.
3. Open the administration form
In the current time slot column, select Administer for the medicine. MANSOQ opens the Administer Medicine dialog.
Note: MANSOQ shows Administer only in the current time slot. MANSOQ also hides it when the medicine is discontinued, or when the time slot falls outside the prescribed schedule.
Note: To record doses for more than one medicine at a time, select Administer Medicine at the top of the sub-tab. Select each medicine that you gave, then submit the panel.
4. Check the dosage
MANSOQ fills the dose, the route, the site, and the method from the prescription. If the prescription has more than one dosage instruction, select the instruction that you gave under Select Dosage Instruction.
5. Set the status
MANSOQ sets Status to Completed. Change the status if staff did not complete the dose.
6. Record the time
MANSOQ sets Start Time and End Time to the current date and time.
To record a dose from an earlier time, select Yes for Is this administration for a past time. MANSOQ then lets you set Start Time and End Time.
Note: MANSOQ warns you when the time falls outside the prescribed schedule. MANSOQ still saves the record.
7. Add a note
Enter free text in Administration Notes to record more detail. This field is optional.
8. Save the administration
Select Administer Medicine to save the record.
Expected Outcome
- MANSOQ shows the message "Medicine Administration saved".
- MANSOQ adds the dose to the time slot as a coloured chip with the time of the dose.
- MANSOQ shows the last administered time on the medicine row.
