Re: Nitro drip in NH question ,need info thanks

[John Tracy]

I am also an ER nurse as well as a nursing home nurse manager.  Nitro drips are strictly for the hospital.  They are not even allowed on a regular hospital floor.  Only in ICU or CCU.   Michelle ----- 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.
