Hi,
I am hoping to get some advice. I have been filling in as a one on one nurse to provide nursing care to students with special needs at school. One of the students is to recieve 10ml Depokote via G-tube. It states in her care plan that her parents send it in daily in a pre fill syringe for the nurse to administer. I was hesitant about this as I have never given a med that I have not drawn up myself from the original container. I contacted the district RN and she said that is the way it is done and to give the student the med. I did and I documented that I gave pre filled syringe of med sent in from parents.
I am I doing the right thing?
