Administration of medications in ED Waiting rooms

hello, has your institution considered or do they practice administering certain medications in the ED waiting room?

IF so, would you be able to share your experience.
Is there a policy that governs this? What are the inclusion criteria?
What medications are ok to administer in the ED waiting room (antipyretics)
What monitoring parameters are in place?

Thank you!
