    What do you think of this Ambien order?

    P_RN replied to IowaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    scoochy is right on target. Any order giving ambiguous parameters puts us on the hot seat. Orders should be written for ONE drug, One amount and ONE time interval-the Nursing office should back you...
