can you give less than the physicians order? for example, i had a patient the other day who wanted only half of his xanax. i said that i could only give him what was ordered (which i thought was right). he said, well that is what the nurses always do b/c i dont like taking that big of a dose. so i went out and asked my charge nurse and several other nurses who said that it was okay to give him half. well i did it, even though i really think i remember that you can not do this. am i right? and if i shouldnt have given him half do you think i should write up a med error and tell my supervisor? thanks...i just want to do the right thing with this.
