Pharmacist/RN Double-check in EMR

Do your sites allow pharmacists to be the independent double-check at the bedside to support nursing? We received this specific question for tenecteplase used in stroke alerts, but other meds have come up as well. Our primary concern is that administration is not in the pharmacist scope of practice for most medications. We also have concerns of a pharmacist cross-checking their own work. However, we recognize that the pharmacist is already at the bedside and very capable to support tenecteplase dosing. Thanks in advance.
