I found this online article that reviews many so called “High Alert” drugs and their safe administration practices. If you haven’t reviewed this in your practice for a while, you might want to check it out.
The list of drugs covered includes:
- Potassium
- Heparin
- Dopamine
- Theophylline
- Insulin
Unless periodic review is already part of your regular routine, you could probably use a quick refresher. Check back here at the Nursing Show site regularly and we’ll make sure you stay up to date on nursing news and links to review articles like this one.
