5 occasions where IV therapy needs two checker?

[lnewbery]

Hi

What are 5 occasions where IV therapy needs two checker? i am almost finished on the training coursework, but am a community nurse so this would never get used!

Thanks

let's see how many I can remember...Heparin, Insulin, Potassium, diprovan(?),dobutamine(?)

[Honeybun1206]

in my hospital-

Magnesium, Insulin, Heparin, TPN (only if it has insulin in it)........ Maybe TPA is one? I'm not sure, since I've never given it.

We don't double check for any Diprivan or vasopressors though. Those 4 are the only ones I can think of.

[morte, LPN, LVN]

blood,TPN, heparin

[NBMom1225]

Blood products, chemotherapy, insulin, heparin....I don't know what else.

[PostOpPrincess, BSN, RN]

Blood products

insulin

heparin

ANYTHING PEDIATRIC

TPN

Vasopressors (weight checks, calculations unless you have the auto pump)

ANYTHING WEIGHT RELATED

We never check heparin, TPN or potassium with 2 ppl. We do check blood products with 2 nurses...

[DavidNurseEMT]

1. Heparin

2. Insulin

3. Blood

4. Narcotic Drips (Fentanyl, Morphine etc)

Magnesium in our hospital...for the High Risk pregnancy!

[WalkieTalkie, RN]

The only thing we double check are blood products and PCA syringes (on my floor, not sure about other specialty areas).

[blondy2061h, MSN, RN]

The only thing we double check are blood products, insulin, and chemo. Probably over half our patients are on TPN and we don't double check that.

[ONCRN84]

Blood products, chemo, heparin boluses, insulin, and recently PCAs.
