We only use IV meds such as narcotics, antibiotics and lasix on occasion. Of course we use all the fluids even with potassium, but we never do IVP cardiac meds whatsoever and we do have narcan on hand just in case for the narcotics.

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.
Thank you.
my fax is 305-633-7593
Sincerely,
BestLittleNurse
