Administering Fentanyl

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I would put this on the student section but experience nurses may have an answer for me.

So, we were asked to create a med sheet for the drugs we might encounter for our Med/Surg rotation. I was assigned "fentanyl."

While researching this, I found that it was given through many and multiple routes, but I was just wondering what is the most common route used on the Med/Surg floor?

I was leaning towards transdermal but I'm not really sure.

Thoughts?

I've given it IV push and transdermal on the cardiac/tele floor I started out on . It's given in the cath lab as part of conscious sedation, typically with versed.
