[Terry Elmstrom]

we do not have nitro drips as they require frequent monitoring our IV list is discussed with the medical director and the decision is made by him the facility determines what IVs can be given safely and appropriately ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2004 4:22 PM Subject: Nitro drip in NH question ,need info thanks Dear Listmates:   I have 3 questions. Please: 1} Does any one know where I can get a list of IV meds used in Nursing homes? 2} Is a nitro drip used in NHs for residents or only hospital Pts.?  3} How many of you have seen this in your homes? Is it legal? It is safe? I don't think so, needs closed monitoring BP, etc., I would like to hear what you have to say on this matter.
