Hemodialysis - Med Admin prior to having dialysis

Hello all!

I am looking to revise our HD policy to include an acceptable list of medications for nursing to give per protocol.

Can anyone share their policy on med admin around HD dialysis days? Do your nurses have the ability to hold or administer meds before dialysis per protocol.

I'm hoping to gather information to bring to our providers for review and consideration.

Thanks in advance!
Danielle
