Survey about med administration for a class

[Casey, RN]

I'm working on a project for my RN-BSN class about medication administration safety. I've created a short survey (6 questions) and would love if some of you wouldn't mind responding. It's completely anonymous and I would really appreciate some responses!

Here is the link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/X2L8JQ5

I attempted to fill out your survey, but being night shift, the first two questions almost never happen to me.

Sorry. I tried.

Do you need to supply any sort of information about the respondents to this survey? I realize that this is anonymous, but you don't even know if the people filling it out are RNs, LPNs, nursing students...

There should be a write in box to explain. Depending on what type of floor you work on effects a lot of questions. When i worked on a tele floor i absolutely did all those almost 100%. In an ER you take a lot more verbal orders. You know what the doc ordered even if you can't read it. and you're not charting meds at the bedside for critical pt's.

Verbal orders are not allowed at our facility unless it is in a code situation.

We don't allow hand written orders at all any more, so I can't answer the first two questions. We do bar code scanning so 4&6 don't apply to me either.

Answered the survey for you! Good luck in your classes :)

Sorry 6 out of 7 doesn't pertain to me. We're on computer charting and our facility doesn't allow verbal orders. I scan the patient's armband before giving the medication and if s/he is allergic to the medication, an allergy box will pop up before it will allow me to proceed with administration.
