Waste
The process for discarding a medication might require a nurse witness for
controlled substances.
Waste While Removing
This option is set at the console by the system manager for each medication
and allows medications to be partially or fully wasted during removal.
Witness
Discrepancies at the station and certain kinds of access (for example, to
override a patient's profile) require a witness to observe the transaction. Any
user with access to the station can act as a witness. Some access privileges
allow the resolution of discrepancies without a witness.
