Morton's Light Salt (MLS)

We're a pediatric hospital and unsure of the applicability in the adult hospitals. A request I hadn't seen in a long time just got asked about whether we would allow an order for MLS to be added to formula feeds. Other questions followed of course in terms of to write for it. Who would measure it? Where would the order appear so that nursing is aware of it? Would it need to appear on the MAR and of course how would it be obtained?

I'm uncertain if it would matter, but we're a Cerner shop. Would love to hear how others may be handling this.

Thanks!
