Subject: do you have the BOS 2?
pages 270-271, actually has good information on how to type normal saline and why so pharmacy doesn't misinterpret. ~D5 in half-normal saline~ I would put 20 of potassium since I expand all medications for hospital account but not allowed to add anything such as mEq. On the other hand, do refer to your account specs. I was on a clinic account a little while back that would not allow expanding anything, had the most bizarre abbreviations, but that's their perogative, I guess, as clinic and not hospital and if they want things to look that way
