Okay... We all know in LTC we have a window of 1 hour before to one hour after to give a sched medication even if it is a narc. ie. sched at 5p can give it anytime between 4 and 6p.
My question is what about PRN narcs. Say they are ordered Q6/hr, can you give them Q5? Is there a window for admin it early?
My thought on this is NO there is no window for giving it early, unless you call and get an order.
Whats your view/policy?
Thanks
