2. Select the medication order(s) to record, then click the OK button to open the
Administration tab of the MAR dialog box.
The Medication Administration dialog box lets you record the administration of a
medication, such as dose given, route, date, and time. Some medications can have more
fields: Stop Date and Stop Time, and Duration. These fields apply to medications infused
over a period of time, such as chemotherapy. The Start Date defaults to the current date
even if the order occurred in the past.
You can click Order to see the orders in the Pharmacy Orders dialog
box.
3. Type the administered dose for the first medication in the Dose field, then press TAB.
Elekta/Impac recommends that you click Default to ordered dose
from the Options menu. If selected, the ordered dose for each
medication appears in the Dose field. When the ordered dose
automatically appears, documentation errors decrease.
4. Type the correct date in the Start Date field, then press TAB.
5. Type the Start Time, then press TAB.
If the order has a duration, the duration appears in the Duration field. The duration is
specified in the Care Plan or ad hoc order. You can also specify it when you add the
order.
6. Type the correct date in the Stop Date field if necessary, then press TAB.
MOSAIQ lets you record medication administration durations greater
than 24 hours.
7. Type the Stop Time, then press TAB.
8. Keep the Staff field at its default (your initials) unless you were not the staff member
administering the medication.
9. Complete the dose and time details for any other medications.
CAUTION
Do NOT press ENTER at this time. If you do, the MAR dialog box
closes without recording IV/VAD details.
