Recently a nurse (RN) where I work chose to admin a prn bucally instead of via g-tube. The order stated via g-tube. This client has a high risk of aspiration. I did not find out about this until after it had already happened and was working in a different building at the time. Can an RN change the route of medication without an order? Would this not be considered a medication error? Is this something I should encourage the other nurse who called me upset about the situation to persue in regards to reporting a med error/talking to management? She did chart that she opposed this decision, she is an RPN, and the the RN chose to do regardless of her objection. It is possible that this resulted in harm to the client, he was sent to hospital later on that day however I have not worked since and do not know why he was transferred.
