I have a question regarding friends or family passing on medication to a patient.

So my Dad had a work accident back in December and roughly a month ago found an infection via MRI. It was long but as we speak he’s on his way home since he was discharged. I was in his room to grab something I used when I found his pills had been open. I know he didn’t take them because he’s been in the hospital for weeks now. I know his gf stays in his room from time to time because she attends community college and she lives in NY. She does visit him a lot and it doesn’t bother me she does but I’m conflicted with the idea if the care staff is even allowed to let him take these said medication because he’s been back and forth from labs to diagnose the infection to give him antibiotics. I want to confront my Dad about it but I don’t want to look like a complete A-hole.

Here’s the question: As a caretaker for the patient, is the GF allowed to just hand him his meds from home? Wouldn’t they have to go through the proper channels and have them administered at the hospital? He receives them every 3 months via Pharmacy.

P.S. I wasn’t sure how I should’ve tagged this post so I just put discussion to be safe.

EDIT: I’m working on my English and I tend to type things that doesn’t make sense so if there is something that doesn’t make sense let me know and I’ll clear it up for you.
