Also irregularities in documenting the drug treatment were stated; prescribed medicines were seen in the individual plan, however this fact wasn’t recorded in the medical record. Moreover an evaluation of a mental state, a reason of including the medicine and a reaction of the patient were missing. Similarly – reasons for the change of the dose of medicines weren’t seen.
