If the clinician prefers to use IBW, the clinician must state that IBW will be the weight used to determine the 30 mL/kg as the target ordered volume.

I have found conflicting statements on if this will satisfy the requirement. If you do use IBW, can you send me your reference that supports using it. Thanks!
