  1. AA meeting and addicts

  10. Giving iv meds through running line

    I always dilute phenergan in a 50ml bag of Ns at 15min. This is to help save the possiable risk of hurting the patient and to save the site. I always dilute my narcotics cuz once it's in it's in and I have had to stop the push due to patients reactio...
