Nurses Managing Epidural Pumps?

[mommy2boysaz]

AWHONN clearly states that manipulating epidural pumps in any way is not the role of the OB RN. So, please just tell me briefly what state you work in and if nurses are permitted to adjust pumps, especially increasing the rate, where you are.

Thanks!!

Virginia:We can adjust the rate, if a range is ordered, change out an empty bottle, and turn off the pump after delivery.
