Med error in petrified as I didn’t follow procedure on reporting

Wait 5 sec.

I’m community based and gave a blood pressure tablet that her daughter had already given her earlier. I panicked and spoke to the daughter who was like it’s fine don’t worry about it, she used to be on 2 anyway they only dropped it down to one this month. She was so chill about it and said not to report it as it was fine,that her brother was staying with ther mom tonight and she would say to him to keep an eye on her for dizzybsss. I never reported to my manager as I had a full blown panic attack at home afterward and I told a colleague what happened and she said you’ll need to report it. I was so overwhelmed I said I couldn’t right now and she said the only issue is the pills will be one short and I asked her to count them at tea visit and she said she would but I’ve not heard at all from her. I’ve been up all night freaking out what to do as I’ve left it 18 hours now and I can’t stop feeling like I’m having panic attacks. If I don’t report it and she does I’m sacked and lose my registration and if I do I still get sacked and lose my registration. I called in last night and said I won’t be in for work as I’m not fit just now which is true. I’m struggling with menopause/ stress and concentration issues an I’m a danger to myself and others. I don’t know what to do now, I feel like I’ve let everyone down as I’ve been so reckless and allowed panic to take over rational thinking   submitted by   /u/GullibleMeet7835 [link]   [comments]
