Nurse prepared drip double check

Hi all,

I am certain most of us have an independent double check policy for administration, but curious if you specifically spell out anything related to nurse prepared compounding?

We try to provide medication drips pharmacy prepared but some drips may be prepared at bedisde.

Is it included in your double check admin document?
If you require a double check on nurse preparation, do you just require that for all of your high alert meds or does it extend to any compounding (including attaching vial and bag with adapter,ADD Vantage, etc).

Thanks in advance,
Dana
