Botox prep for Neurologist

Published

I have worked in Neuro department in clinic setting for 9 years.  We have an entire day of botox for migraine and as the RN, I prepare the botox for the docs to give to each patient. I cannot find any info with TJC stating this cannot happen. Checking with other Neuro and other specialties, the nurses mix the meds for the docs. Does anyone know if this is okay? I have only found one post that says it is okay, but has expired link.

RN's prepare meds every day, why is Botox different?

I agree. I just wanted to know if there was a joint commission rule that states that an RN cannot mix medications for a doctor to give.
