Medication Administration
If a medication is scanned that is linked to one order, the Medication Administration screen will display the following text label above the medication description: "Linked to: XXXX."
Medication Administration
Complete the medication administration options as outlined in Medication Administration.
If Update Pending or Save/View Pending is selected, or a medication is scanned that is not contained in the link, the following alert will display: "Linked orders have not been completed, select Next Link." Select OK to return to the Medication Administration screen.
To exit the Medication Administration screen without saving the administration, select the back arrow from the action bar. The following alert will display: "Exiting will remove changes to this medication. Would you like to proceed?" Select Yes to return to the MAR without saving the documented data or No to remain on the Medication Administration screen.
To proceed with administration for the remaining medications in the link, you user must scan the next linked medication.
Once all medications in the link have been addressed, the Update Pending and Save/View Pending options will be enabled on the action bar. Medication administration may be completed as outlined in Medication Administration.
If a linked medication is selected directly from the MAR and is to be given without using Medication Verification, "Next in Link" is added to the action bar. After all administration data is entered for the currently selected medication, select Next in Link to continue with administration for all linked medications.
The Update Pending and Save/View Pending options will be disabled until all medications in the link have been addressed.
