In response to "1) Just because it isn't dangerous doesn't mean it should be given. There is no longer any indication to give it. Hence it was discontinued. " by James Bond (aka Igor)

You're not getting it. She obviously has no official order to discontinue. She does have a list that works as a written order.

She can only countermand the written order if she thinks it's dangerous, it isn't dangerous. So, she has to proceed with the drug (or whatever it is) unless she has an order to discontinue.

It's not her fault, but she has to follow the order she has unless someone in charge changes that order. It sounds like someone gets written up no matter what and you guys are just covering your ass.

- Yes, her name is in it but it isn't her fault and I doubt anything will happen to her. Pharmacy or the previous nurse is where the problem was. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 30, 21:53 11
  - Wait was she asking for an order to give it or discontinue it? - the liioulu with insects Sep 30, 21:58 7
    - I think you are confused and thinking she wanted an order to stop it. Of course we stopped it. That wasn't the problem. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 30, 22:05 1

    - She was asking for an order to give it. She obviously stopped it once we informed her. She wanted us to cover her ass by back dating an order saying - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 30, 22:01 4

        Sure it was, I got it right off. She wanted a CYA order written because she gave it (for whatever reason). I think your misunderstanding is because - Trish Sep 30, 22:22 2

        sounds to me like this nurse maybe had some serious mistakes in the past and doesn't want to come across the investigators again even if innocent -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 30, 23:25
  - If a new order were written then this whole situation would not be investigated. I don't know about you, but I want someone to look into why a d/ced - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 30, 21:57 2
    - So..it's better the patient gets something that should have been discontinued so someone investigates? -- nm - the liioulu with insects Sep 30, 22:00 1
      - The patient already got it. Hence, I want it investigated why a patient received something that was d/ced 3 days ago. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 30, 22:02
