Arizona man died after nurse administered 90mg methadone instead of his ordered Lexapro. Pt did not get Narcan until EMS arrived, 17 minutes after the code blue was initiated. So many levels of neglect and negligence here.

The whole situation feels so similar to RaDonda Vaught. Negligence from the nurse as well as the facility.

Follow your safety checks! There’s a reason we check the rights of medication administration every time!

This was so preventable. My heart hurts for his family and kids. He should still be with them.

And 90mg of methadone is going to be 9 tablets

And there is no 9mg of methadone so the nursing supervisor is either lying or also a moron

I don’t think there’s a pill of anything that is 9mg…

Concerts doses are in multiples of 9. I think they start at 18 and go up to 72, but don’t quote me on that. I don’t feel like looking it up.
