Consensus standards for safe IVPM state to never dilute IVPM by drawing up the contents into a commercially available, prefilled, normal saline (NS) flush syringe. Despite Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) guidelines, lack of practice standardization persists, creating increased medication error risk with unnecessary dilution an ongoing issue. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to 1) identify current IVPM preparation and administration practices at a Children's Hospital in the Pacific Northwest and 2) measure nurses' adherence to national standards for IVPM post education. 000010126 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000010126 650__ $$aChild$$016462 000010126 650__ $$aMedication Errors$$021956 000010126 650__ $$aInfusions, Intravenous$$020813 000010126 650__ $$aAdministration, Intravenous$$039954 000010126 650__ $$aQuality Improvement$$039456 000010126 6531_ $$a5'-deoxy-5'-thioinosine 5'-monophosphate 000010126 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000010126 7001_ $$aGirod, Victoria J.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000010126 7201_ $$aBanta-Wright, Sandra P.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$eChair$$7Personal 000010126 8564_ $$975619477-4ba0-4d42-a08a-dbab26bf91f5$$s1401819$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/10126/files/Girod.Victoria.2023.pdf 000010126 905__ $$a/rest/prod/9k/41/zf/30/9k41zf308 000010126 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:10126$$pstudent-work 000010126 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
