The max dose allowed by the facility is entered into this table along with the percentage of the maximum dose allowed that must be reached before Nursing is alerted. If acetaminophen is scanned and the dose being scanned will place the acetaminophen total in the warning percentage range or over the max dose allowed, the following alerts will generate: "Patient is within the warning threshold of exceeding the max dosage of acetaminophen in a 24 hour period, XXXX MG (XX% of XXXX MG)."
