Injectable midazolam given to adults

We have nurses that mix injectable midazolam diluted in apple juice and given orally to patients in a waiting room prior to eye procedures.

Is this a practice that happens in your facility?

Do you require specialized training in procedural sedation? If not what are your guidelines for monitoring these patients?

Thank you,
Shonda
