I see by searching the
archives, that lots of people have had problems with zero dose orders. We
have tried to minimize the orders we enter with zero dose. Morphine 2 to 4
mg IV q4h prn used to be entered as zero dose, now we enter two fixed dose
orders for 2 and 4 mg.
But, we still enter zero dose orders for
creams, inhalers, eye drops, sliding scale insulins, etc. Does anyone have
any better idea? Is anyone documenting with 1 application, 1 puff, etc. on
the eMar?
If so, how does it work for you? How
did you set it up.
With using zero dose orders, we have found
a lot of documenting errors from the nurse entering the wrong
dose.
