Parenteral Nutrition Prescriptions cont.
‣ Traditionally, the pharmacist is assigned the responsibility of
verifying the indication, dose, and use of a drug or nutrient, as is
the case with PN.
‣ Some hospitals requiring that the PN prescription be rewritten
each day, the potential exists for transcription errors that omit or
significantly increase nutrient doses.
‣ Some computer software for PN admixture may be
programmed to clue the pharmacist that the PN admixture is
inappropriate when nutrient doses are outside an acceptable
range.
‣ Others however, may find it helpful to develop order forms for
standard PN formulations that apply to specific patient
populations with normal organ function.
