Adjusting Patient Doses to the Schedule
1. All large volume I.V. doses will be hung within an hour of being ordered unless a specific hang time is written and will follow the schedule initiated by the rate of the I.V. and the time the fluid is hung.
2. I.V. antibiotics will be hung within an hour of being ordered unless a hang time is specified. The subsequent doses will be adjusted to the standard drug administration schedule over a period of three doses as demonstrated on the medication administration guide windows sheet.
3. All oral medication will be scheduled for the next regularly scheduled administration time after the order is written unless an order is specified for "now." If the drug is given off-schedule, then the Medication Administration Scheduling Guide Windows will be used to convert to the standard drug administration schedule.
