Hi,
We were recently notified by our distributer that they are unable to fulfill our order for 3% Acetic Acid. Would love to know how others are obtaining the product or what alternatives you are using. We recently made a big push to eliminate Glacial Acetic Acid from our institution and I would love to avoid needing to bring the product back in to make 3%.
Thank you,

Greetings-

We are reviewing our medication range order policy and would greatly appreciate hearing about strategies at other facilities.  I would be happy to collate replies and send out a table of deidentified responses to whoever is interested.

1.       Do you allow range orders for intermittent medications (e.g. morphine 2-4mg IV Q6h PRN) at your facility?                         

2.       If so, any restrictions?

3.       How does the nurse determine what dose to administer?

Thank you !!

Jennifer

Good Morning,
Does anyone administer IV Bactrim as straight drug at their institution for fluid-restricted patients?
