Do you limit what nurses can mix in the clinic setting?
A clinic was found that did 20 buffered lidocaine syringes each day for procedures. We have changed the process so that pharmacy provides them. But now have some providers that wonder if this will affect the nurses being able to mix other items in the clinic (for instance, steroids with local anesthetics for intrarticular injection). Are there any policies on what nurses can and cannot mix?
