RE:Med dilution policy

[Nauman, Tanya]

I'm attaching this query to your message as I can't seem to send an original message and have it go to the right place.....   I also couldn't find anything about this subject in the archives... Does anyone have a policy written re dilution of irritant drugs? One of our nurse managers wants me to write a policy re routine dilution of MSO4.  I hesitate to do this, as morphine certainly isn't the only irritant drug needing dilution;  I also don't feel the policy should state every drug needing dilution.  I could use the INS standard regarding pH and osmolarity, but I doubt very much the nurses are going to look this up every time on every med...so what are you all doing? Thanks for any info.
