:oPlease help...I am a new RN and I was tasked to provide an inservice on DVT prophylaxis as a part of shared governance. I was reading the previous articles and threads that we have here but, I really cannot come up to a good and current details of it. If anybody got some powerpoint presentation that I could probably revise or some trivia questions that I could throw up to my audience, I would appreciate very much. One thing, I wanted to ask if there has been a chance that we could use an SCD on the upper extremity? Thanks in advance...

I have been using 3 different types of Medication dispensing Cabinet in 2 years and I wanted to know if anybody has encountered the same perplexity: A) Accudose - dispenses medication at your fingertips using passwords. Defaults to monitoring med amount esp narcotics and controlled-meds. B) Pyxis - has two types: The one which is like the Accudose, in which you have to memorize your password or you can't get in. And the one which uses your fingerprint to easily and safely log in. Kindly share your experience and your dilemmas (if there are any) regarding these med dispensing cabbies...thanks.
