Medications requiring patient transport by nursing

Greetings,

Our organization is updating our patient transport policy. It contains many things unrelated to medications, but it does contain a section speaking to which medications require a nurse to transport the patient.

Wondering if you have something like this do you
a. list specific medications (nursing wants this)
b. list classes of medications
c. provide non-specific guidance based on patient stability, medication titration need, or mention of high alert medications or medications that require a double check on handoff.

Any details are welcomed!

Thanks in advance,
Dana
