Title:

Generella ordinationer

Text:

Generella ordinationer innefattar läkemedel som får ges av sjuksköterska utan
läkares individuella ordination. Anvisningar för ordinationer enligt generella di-
rektiv ska finnas i den lokala instruktionen. För varje avdelning skall dessa lä-
kemedel finnas listade. Listan skall revideras årligen och skall innehålla infor-
mation om indikationer och kontraindikationer samt dos och antal tillfällen
som läkemedlet får ges till en patient utan att en läkare kontaktas. Sjuksköter-
skan skriver in ordinationen i utdelningslistan. Ordinationen kommer upp på
ordinationslistan som given dos + beteckningen go (generell ordination). Givna
läkemedel enligt generella ordinationer skall rapporteras vid nästföljande rond.
Läkemedel som ges upprepade gånger enligt generell ordination bör sättas in
som stående ordination.
