Our pharmacy prepares unit dose oral morphine syringes for NICU patients. Nurses have expressed concern because the product has a blue color and when drawn up in a amber syringe with a black plunger the nurse is unable to differentiate where the medication ends and the plunger starts.
Has anyone else experienced this concern? Recommendations would be appreciated.
Thank you, Mark
