Flu Vaccination Classification on Care Plan

Published

Hello, i need some help. My Care Plan has a Classification column and im not sure what to put for the flu shot.

For example complete sig of Tylenol is :[TABLE=width: 990]

[TR]

[TD]acetaminophen (Tylenol) 650mg PO every six hours PRN for fever.[/TD]

[/TR]

[/TABLE]

And classificaiton is:

Antipyretic

Now for the Flu Vaccination this is my complete sig.

" flu vac (Fluarix Quad) 0.5 mL IM every friday"

My question is What is the Classification for Flu Shot? Would Supplement be ok?

Specializes in OR, Nursing Professional Development.

The flu vaccine is, quite simply, a vaccine. It is not a supplement, and it sounds like perhaps you should review the definition of supplement. Do you have access to a drug guide? You will find that one will be a big help in nursing school as well as while working as a nurse. And why is your patient receiving a flu vaccine every Friday? It's a once a year deal.
