Wrong heparin route???

Apr 27, 20197 yr

So I have been a floor nurse only 6 months on the postpartum floor and work nights. By 4 am I am fogged and today I was particularly too tired. I lost one of my heparins and think I may have given it twice to a pt. I think I gave 5000 units IVP and then 5000 units subcu. Did I kill my pt? Help

Did you contact your charge nurse/manager and the physician? This is not a question that you should be asking here but rather that needs addressed clinically.

***it’s a serious error***...but not a crazy amount assuming they don’t have any underlying heme issues. i do not think you “killed your patient.

also what do you mean you “think you gave it ivp”? did you scan your patient and review the order? or do you walk around giving meds guessing what drug and which patient and route etc? ?
