How frequently should medications be reviewed for necessity in a resident's care plan?

Every day
Weekly
Monthly
At least quarterly

The correct answer is: At least quarterly

Regular reviews of medications in a resident's care plan are crucial for ensuring safety and efficacy. Conducting these reviews at least quarterly allows healthcare providers to assess the ongoing necessity of each medication, adjusting dosages as needed, discontinuing medications that are no longer appropriate, and minimizing the risk of polypharmacy. This timeframe strikes a balance between being frequent enough to catch any changing needs in a resident's health while not overwhelming the healthcare team with daily or weekly reviews, which may not provide additional meaningful insights. In long-term care settings, this practice is part of ensuring that each resident receives appropriate and individualized care to optimize their outcomes.
