Pork-avoidance policy

Hello!
I wanted to see if anyone had a P&P for assessment on admission for those that avoid medications due to cultural or religious objections to pork or broader cultural assessments on admission. We have a policy but have had issues putting it into action and assuring the right questions are asked before medication administration.

Thank you!

Christa
