Hi all,
I am a relatively new nurse and had never considered mixing IV meds together before administration. This was never something that came up in school, nor something I ever saw during clinicals. However, several nurses on my floor regularly do this and I wanted to see if most people do or do not. When I say mixing IV meds I mean to put, for example, Morphine and Reglan together in the syringe and then giving it to the patient. If you do practice this, I am wondering....You only mix if the IV book says they are compatible in the SYRINGE, not Y site, correct? Also, do you go by the slowest push rate of the two? :monkeydance:
Thanks,
