When administering Morphine 2 mg IV every 2 hours PRN and receiving a warning for dose higher than ordered, what should you do?

The correct choice involves manually entering the dose actually given by clicking Partial Package. This action is appropriate because it directly reflects the dosage that has been administered, ensuring accurate documentation and tracking of medication use. By entering the dose manually, it also allows for compliance with safety protocols while acknowledging that the warning occurred.

In high-alert situations, like administering opioids such as morphine, accuracy in documentation is crucial to prevent medication errors and ensure patient safety. This approach also indicates to the system that you are acknowledging the warning and taking responsible action.

The other choices may not address the critical need for accurate documentation or could lead to complications. For example, merely scanning the patient's barcode does not relate to resolving the dosing discrepancy and could lead to further confusion. Selecting an override reason without addressing the actual administration could jeopardize patient safety by circumventing the alert meant to prevent overdose or errors. Lastly, stopping and sending the syringe back to the pharmacy might not be practical and does not resolve the issue of what has already been given to the patient, potentially delaying necessary pain relief. Therefore, reflecting the accurate dosage in the system through the Partial Package option is the most responsible action to take in this scenario.
