Alert

 

 

Select the back arrow to return to the MAR or select an override reason from the drop-down menu and then Continue to proceed with medication administration. The override reasons pull from the Med Verify Control Table. Other may be selected from the drop-down menu so that the user may manually enter the appropriate reason.

 

If scanning a sequence of multiple medications, the override reason selected will default as the reason on the next Early/Late drug in the sequence.
