If she has a valid prescription at the time, she has grounds for a complaint, they still have a duty of care. I know that many human rights are eroded when institutionalized but that is valid proof. She could have gone into a seizure. However, if she was found to be in possession and tested positive for illegal substances this could have jeopardized her prescription and therefore her access to that medication. If we dispense that here, it has to be 2 registered nurses sign out and double check and do a drug count. Double check the person's identity each time and date of birth ect. To cease it abruptly could induce a seizure, but if the person is a polysubstance abuser little chance they will get access to that medication, no matter what kind of pain they are in.
