Weird meds

Published

0Have you guys ever given the factor 8 med? It comes in a 10ml syringe and pharmacy doesn't say anything about double gloving so idk if it's a harmful agent to touch and the nurse giving it didn't use gloves. Do you use gloves for all IV push meds? Or just the PO's?

Specializes in ICU.

The only med I double glove for is nitro paste if I am massaging it in, like for half-dead vasopressor hands/feet where we are trying to use nitro to restore circulation before declaring those fingers and toes total losses. I do NOT want to get nitro paste on myself and I want a layer of non-nitro gloves to touch the patient with afterwards.
