Pediatric Guidelines for IV Medication Administration

Hello MSOS members, our institution is looking to create a pediatric guideline for IV medication administration. We are intending to create a table to guide nurses as to what meds and doses are appropriate to give on a pediatric unit for pediatric patients. The table would include information on monitoring parameters, IV Push, etc.

For reference, we have a pediatric unit within a community hospital. We are currently using meditech and soon transitioning to Epic.

I would appreciate any input, insight or templates that you may be able to share if your institution currently has such a list available.

Thank you!
