For example of a standing order, when to administer Narcan to a patient whose vital signs drop after just receiving a narcotic by any route, but especially one given by IV or IM.A nurse MUST follow through with the institution's policies for charting adverse reactions AND completing an incident report when required.A nurse MUST be able to review his own actions to recognize any nursing deficiencies in her practice of nursing, and be able to accept any remedial education needed to prevent an incident from occurring again, if the event could have been avoided.A nurse MUST be willing to pursue regular CEU education about medications and about nursing actions regarding the proper administration of medications.
