documenting prednisone

I am inquiring when transcribing predinison is decreasing dosage on the 7 day MAR; do you cross out the days not given. Ex. Predinison 30, 15 x 2 days.

thanks!

    1) Change your posting name to something anonymous. There are many threads you can search on AN to explain why this is a good idea.

    2) I don't really understand your question. If the prescription is for 30mg on Monday, then record it as a one-time dose. Same for the 20mg on Tuesday, the 15mg on Wednesday, the 10mg on Thursday, the 5mg on Friday.

    Or am I misunderstanding you?

    Your facility should have a policy on this....ask your charge nurse.

    You have an incomplete order that doesn't make sense so it's difficult to assist you

    At least they didn't order a declining Medrol pack! I hate that one!

    I think the full rx is

    prednisone 30mg po daily x2 days then

    prednisone 15 mg po daily x2 days then

    prednisone 10mg po daily

    So, I know the last one goes on the 7 and 14 day MARS. My question is does the first two go on the STAT MAR and kardex?

    thanks!
