I just recently graduated from nursing school and went immediately into psych nursing because it is my passion, but something happened today and I'm so upset.
I was told that when giving Ativan to small children to just go ahead and give Cogentin with it to alleviate any potential EPS symptoms!! I have been doing that since day one. Well tonight the Dr. informs me that Ativan doesn't cause EPS...what gives...have I been giving out the wrong medication for the past 3 months...does Ativan cause EPS, and do you guys ever give Cogentin with it????? I am confused. I looked online, but nothing...some help would totally be appreciated..
