What are the top 5 medications YOU administer daily?

[northmississippi]

I want to read about medications that are nornally given by nurses, what do you normally deal with on your floor? I'm hoping to see a common drug list, but who knows...

Thanks.

I have no idea what drugs you are all talking about most of the time because they all seem to have different names UK vs USA

Morphine, zofran, aspirin, zosyn, ceftriaxone. ER that does not give dilaudid.

The first three I mentioned are definitely top three, not sure about the antibiotics. Other possible 4th and 5ths include tylenol, oxycodone, solumedrol, cipro, flagyl, vancomycin, protonix, and ativan.
