Well, we finally got the IV bags premixed with K. Problem is now, the pharmacy refuses to give us stock bags for our med room. They say they will dispensed the appropiate amount of bags for a patient for 24 hours. We keep trying to tell them what are we suppose to do a 2 am when we have a new admit and no pharmacist or supervisor to get us the stuff? I guess after a couple of times of being called in the middle of the night to retrieve this stuff maybe the pharmacists will realize what an inconvience it is for them not to have floor stock. I just don't understand the logic behind this one. All these years they allowed us to have vials of concentrated K on the floor and never even questioned it. Now, we go to a much safer product and they are treating it like they are hoarding gold. Go figure!!
