Documentation of bolus doses off pump

How does your facility document RN boluses doses off a continuous infusion or PCA pump? We use Cerner and currently have the PRN or additional RN boluses ordered separately, which is often a different concentration. As a result, our nurses are unable to confirm and chart the correct volume delivered, and this also leads to inaccurate I/Os documented. Thanks in advance!
