Neonatal High Risk Stickers

Dear List,

What are your thoughts about adding a "Contains Heparin" sticker to the labels of low volume/high risk preps such as neonatal hydration fluids that contain heparin for maintaining line patency? It was suggested that this may be a way to reduce the risk of inadvertently administering a heparin-containing fluid.

Thank you in advance for your responses,
Jeff
