Medication patches on admission
Hello everyone,
What are your practices around patients coming in on a patch? If the provider orders for it to be continued inpatient, do you leave the patch on and apply the next patch at the next due time? Or do you automatically switch to your own patch without waiting for the next due time?
Thanks!
