I am a new nurse. Well I am new to OBGYN. I graduated a little over a year ago and went straight to GI triage. Now im here at a clinic adn i'm the only RN on board here. We will be doing essure procedures soon. We are going to use Toradol IM. I reseached it and it looks like normally 60mg is the dose given when given IM. I believe we are also going to use some Versed. I am wondering what all I should be looking for when monitorign the patient during these cases with those two medications on board?
Also on a side note. I am looking for a book or website to help with allergies vs medicaions. Meaning when a pt wants a medication and they have certain allergies to medications, what is a good resource to ensure that that medication is safe for that patient. I've looked at drugs.come, epocrates and in my 2012 drug book and it doesn't address that too much.
Thanks
