Partial Patch Documentation

Our pediatric institution routinely uses partial medication patches. The dose is entered as the # of patches (ie. 0.25 patches or 1 patch). Does anyone have any clinical decision support at the point of administration to remind the RN that only a partial patch is needed?

Thanks!
