Protocols/Orders Hypo and Hyperglycemia - Utilization
Can hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia pre-printed protocols/orders be used for meeting DSDF.4 EP.2.b "plans for the treatment of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia are established for each patient?"
Any examples are for illustrative purposes only.
Yes, pre-printed protocols/order sets can be used; however, they need to be individualized per patient if the clinical condition dictates or changes, such as patient receiving steroids who is then tapered off or an elderly patient becomes combative with blood glucose at 79 mg/dl rather than a blood glucose level at 69 mg/dL.
