Do you need an order ...

In home health do you need an order to admin extra fluids via g tube to help with constipation ?

[nurseprnRN, BSN, RN]

If fluid management is part of the prescribed medical plan of care, you will be implementing it as prescribed (including prns). If there is no such restriction you can use your nursing judgment.
