If not returned for credit, how should medication destruction in the facility be documented?

Witnessed, signed, and dated by 2 or more licensed or registered health personnel
Reported to the administration
Logged only by the pharmacist
Documented by a single nurse’s signature

The correct answer is: Witnessed, signed, and dated by 2 or more licensed or registered health personnel

In order to properly document medication destruction in a facility, it is important to have the process witnessed and performed by at least 2 licensed or registered health personnel. This allows for proper accountability and mitigates the risk of any discrepancies. Option B, reporting to administration, does not provide a thorough documentation of the destruction process. Option C, having only the pharmacist log the medication, also lacks proper verification and oversight from other health personnel. Option D, having only a single nurse's signature, also does not provide enough accountability and oversight. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate choice for documenting medication destruction.
