Nurses Medications

Published

Sorry to steal the same title as the BP one. Patient was in the ER today, was reviewing home meds, and she was on

130mg Oxycontin Q TID (not 3 divided doses) and 30 mg Oxycodone Q TID I was shocked, the ER nurse I was with has been a nurse for 22 years and she had never seen a dose this high either for someones personal home meds.

Just curious what others have seen.
