Patient refusal of scheduled medications and provider notification

If anyone is able to share their nursing policy regarding provider notification for refused medications I would greatly appreciate it.

Discussion points surrounding this topic:
-should this be for all meds?
-should it only be for high alert meds?
-what is the ideal time frame for reporting a missed/refused dose (within 2 hour or at rounds, etc.)
