The places I work at make it real clear. If the doctor states Synthroid 100 mg and you type it and leave it that way, that is a patient care error which is the highest number of points I've ever seen taken off. We have to have 98% or above accuracy and if you mess up and drop below that, you either get correction action (at one place) or get 5% of your pay reduced (at current place). Now I agree with you that it shouldn't be that way. My sister-in-law is a nurse and is appalled that we have to do that since we are not in the chain of responsibility regarding medication distribution. Unfortunately, at least where I've worked, we are responsible for knowing all meds and proper dosages which is why my former employer gives Quick Look to all its employees.

... the consensus, across the board, has always been to use KCl unless specifically told by the dictator in some way that the other was intended (which, so far, has never happened in my experience).
On the other hand, lots of our dictators routinely say s/l "cipro" and we always give them Cipro as a result, but I suspect that many of them intend ciprofloxacin and are just doing their lazy thang....
So go figure.

I use all the methods the other poster suggested. I also begin thinking to myself "what could he/she be saying" here that would fit in with the context? Can I actually hear anything that is pertinent? Think in terms of what is being done to the patient, would they have a reason to be using a particular med, technique, test, whatever. You sometimes just cannot make sense out of garbage no matter what methods you use and even QA will give them big, fat blanks.
