IV push safety Remember that medications have a recommended push time for a reason. Many medications if pushed too quickly can create a toxicity and extreme reaction in the client. You can always push a little slower if the math doesn’t give even increments. For example 1.25 ml/15 sec can be further slowed to 1.2 ml/15 sec or even 1 ml/15 sec depending on medication and client. Never let go of the syringe while pushing medications. Also, always thoroughly clean your port. The alcohol caps are great, but only effective if they’ve been on for at least 3 minutes. Client safety above nurse convenience. Verify your math. You can always push a little slower. Make sure fluids are compatible with the medication.<br>

Let’s look at a simple prescription for Metoclopramide aka Reglan The provider prescribes metoclopramide (Reglan) 10 mg to be given IV push every 6 hours as needed for nausea/vomiting. On hand the nurse has a vial that supplies metoclopramide 5 mg/1 ml. The nurse is also aware that metoclopramide does not need to be diluted but that it does need to be pushed over at least 1 min.
Figuring out the first step
What is the total dose ordered for 1 IV push = 10 mg
On hand vial reads 5mg/ml
1ml x 10 mg = 10 = 2 ml’s for dose
5mg 1 dose 5
Figuring out the second step
How many ml’s to push every 15 seconds?
As this medication does not need to be diluted, the syringe will contain 2 ml’s total and push time is 1 min which can be divided into 4 x 15 sec increments
2 ml x 1 min x 15 sec = 30 = 0.5 ml/15 sec
1 min 60 sec dose 60<br>
