I would appreciate your guidance regarding a medication safety and system limitation issue encountered in our NICU. We received an order for:
• Insulin Regular 100 units/mL injection.
• Prescribed dose: 0.025 units IV (one-time dose)
• Context: Medication supplied from floor stock, with nursing responsible for preparation and administration.
