Bolus Administration from Infusion Pumps

Hello,

Hoping to gain insight into other institution's practices regarding infusion bolus administration from infusion pumps.

Questions:
1. Does your institution allow nursing to administer boluses from infusion pumps?
2. If so, is the practice allowed for all infusions or are there exclusions?
3. How do you reflect this practice in your electronic health record to ensure documentation and patient charging is appropriately occurring?

Thank you!
