HWS Clinical Ops on Nov 15, 2018 11:38:44 AM

As a reminder, please make sure you are administering pain medication per physician order. For example: Patient Smith reported pain level of 7. The physician order was Norco 2 Tablets PO Q4hours PRN for pain level 7-10 and Norco 1 tablet PO Q 4hours PRN for pain level 4-6. The correct administration for patient Smith would be Norco 2 Tablets PO Q4hours PRN for pain level 7-10. This information is included in the order on eMAR, please make sure you are reviewing prior to pain medication administration. Please comment with additional questions. Thank you each for all you do!
