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.
