Where shall contingency drugs be stored in a nursing home?

At a nursing unit
In a central pharmacy
In a locked safe
In the resident's room

The correct answer is: At a nursing unit

Contingency drugs should be stored at a nursing unit in a nursing home. This location ensures that the medications are readily accessible to healthcare staff in case of emergencies or unusual circumstances. Storing contingency drugs in a central pharmacy or a locked safe may cause delays in accessing them when needed urgently. Additionally, keeping these medications in a resident's room raises concerns about medication safety and control. Therefore, storing contingency drugs at a nursing unit is the most practical and efficient choice for nursing home administrators.
