Weird meds

[Naomimillerrr]

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?

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.
