Documentation of Home TPN administration

Since transitioning to outsourcing TPN, we are likely to have increased home TPN usage in the hospital for the first day of admission. Does your facility have nurses document home TPN administration on the MAR like a regular home medication? If so, how is it built out-- as a general "home TPN" order or as a specific TPN order broken down into components? Thanks! -Melody Sun, CHOC Children's
